Have you ever wondered what happens to our old clothes when we don’t want them anymore? It’s a big question! Until recently, much of this clothing would end up in landfills — sites for waste disposal. What the world thinks of us will contribute to our disposal issue since the plastic crisis on the planet is a serious one. But now we have a cool new thing in style world, which is recycled cotton from old clothing. This is an excellent ESG initiative!
Recycled cotton comes from garments that people have worn and tossed. The clothes are collected and sorted to see which ones can be reused. And then, there’s the process of converting them into new fibers, the little threads that make up fabric. This new clothing is made from those new fibers. Thus, it also helps reduce waste and saves resources, which is good for environmentally-conscious consumers who want to help when using products.
Old clothes take up a lot of space when we throw them away in a landfill. Some types of clothing can take an incredibly long time, even hundreds of years, to decompose. This is super bad for our planet, and it also can make our air and water dirty. We can’t live a healthy life without clean air and water! When using recycled cotton, we take one step closer to having less waste in our landfills and protecting the earth for the generations to come.
These brands are majorly reducing the amount of new cotton grown, and making the fashion world a better place by using recycled cotton. By making this change, we can do good for our planet Earth, while creating a more human world of fashion. When companies are willing to use recycled materials, they are making a statement that demonstrates their awareness about sustainability and the environment.
You may be asking yourself: Are fabrics made from recycled cotton different in appearance and feel than ones made from traditional cotton? The answer is no! Recycled cotton has the same soft and comfy feel as regular cotton. It is great to create various kinds of clothing such as t-shirts, jeans, and even undergarments. Clothes made from recycled cotton way more comfortable.
Recycled cotton feels wonderful and not only that, I think that it has a (to me at least) very unique texture that makes clothes special and interesting. This unique view adds some character in your clothes and help you express your personal style. Supporting them by liking and making recycled cotton is a great and significant change for making sustainable fashion, and that is implementing every possible step for saving our planet.
There are countless advantages in utilizing recycled cotton for a better and more sustainable future. We help keep the Earth a healthy, clean place by reducing waste and conserving its resources. Recycled cotton also contributes to a circular economy. In this economy, we upcycle materials rather than discarding them. This helps us make use it for longer duration and it is environmental friendly!
