•Up to 100 billion garments are produced by the fashion industry every year. And each year, as much as 92 million tons of clothing ends up in landfills. Only 20% of textiles are collected for reuse or recycling globally. Almost 60% of all clothing material is actually plastic.

•During the decomposition process, textiles generate greenhouse methane gas and leach toxic chemicals and dyes into the groundwater and our soil. Which is toxic for the water, soil, humans and animals!
•The clothing that ends up in landfills can sit there for 200-plus years, and as it decomposes, it emits methane—a greenhouse gas more potent than carbon into our air quality.
•synthetics (plastic, polyester )will take hundreds and hundreds of years to break down, all while releasing harmful carbon emissions so please be sure you really love your price enough to not throw away!
Why do so many clothes end up in landfill?
Every second, the equivalent of a rubbish truck load of clothes is burnt or buried in landfill. Waste is prevalent in every part of the fashion industry, as a result of overproduction, over consumption, and problematic end-of-life solutions.
What does clothing waste cause?
From there, the gas and chemical leachates that emerge during the decomposition process pollute the air, soil, and groundwater and negatively impact the environment and health of humans and other species. Unwanted used clothing often clogs the gutters, preventing water from flowing properly.
How long do clothes sit in landfills?
200 years
