TEXTILES THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN LANDFILLS 5% 95% Textiles That Could Have Been Recycled Textiles That Can't Be Recycled TEXTILES THAT CAN’T BE RECYCLED TEXTILES THAT COULD HAVE BEEN RECYCLED 77
iCONSUMER EDUCATION : DISPOSAL Inevitably many people tend to throw away their old, damaged and unwanted clothes to the trash bin. According to a new report from the Council for Textile Recycling (CTR), the average American throws away 70 pounds of clothing every year. Recently, more and more consumers will donate clothing to charities. A charity is a non profit organization that is given special tax form and distinct legal status. It is also created to promote the public good. Generally, after receiving clothes from people, the charitable organization often sell donated clothes rather than directly giving the clothing away. Charities keep 10% of donated clothing for their high quality and retail value for the thrift shops. They sell the rest of the donations to textile recycling businesses. Example of charitable organizations accepting clothing donations included: SALVATION ARMY GOODWILL INDUSTRIES UNITED WAY OXFAM INTERNATIONAL In most cases, a small amount of the items, the best quality castoffs—less than 10 percent of donations—are kept by the charitable institutions and sold in their thrift shops to other Americans looking for a bargain. The buyers of these items of clothing could be people who are hard up, or they could be folks who like idea of a good deal on a stylish old item that no longer can be found in regular stores. The charitable institution to textile recycling firms sells the remaining 90 percent or more of what you give away. Bernard Brill, of the Secondary Recycled Textiles Association, told ABC News, “our industry buys from charitable institutions, hundred of millions of dollars worth of clothing every year.” Charity you have donated clothes to has earned money off of them in two ways—in their ships and by selling to recyclers. Then the recycler kicks into high gear. Most of the clothes are recycled into cleaning cloths and other industrial items, for which the recyclers say they make a modest profit. 78
