Why Reuse is Better Than Recycling: A Global Perspective on Clothing

Why reusing is better than recycling: a global perspective on clothing

Reusing clothing has a greater and more immediate environmental impact compared to recycling. It extends the life of garments, reducing the need for energy-intensive processes and conserving resources. Unlike recycling, which can lead to lower-quality products, reusing preserves the integrity and quality of clothes, providing communities, particularly in developing countries, with durable, high-quality clothing.
