A Shocking Amount of Textile Waste is Produced Every Year
In the US, over 15 million tonnes of textile waste is produced every year; while in the EU, an enormous 9.35 million tonnes of textile waste are being landfilled or incinerated each year, making textile waste one of the biggest challenges for environmental sustainability and economic development.
A variety of factors are making textile waste a global challenge, including increasing textile consumption, lack of recycling awareness, and lack of infrastructure to manage textile recycling. Developed countries continue to consume a high amount of textile products, especially with the rise of the fast fashion industry, and produce a magnificent amount of textile waste.
