The clothes taken to H&M will be used in one of 4 ways. </p><p><b>Rewear </b>- Clothing that can be worn again is marketed worldwide as second-hand goods.<br /> <br /> <b>Reuse </b>-Textiles that are no longer suitable to wear are converted into other products, such as cleaning cloths.<br /> <br /> <b>Recycle </b>-Textiles that can’t be reused get a new chance as textile fibres, or are used to manufacture products such as damping and insulating materials for the auto industry.</p><p><b>Energy </b>-When rewear, reuse and recycle are not options, textiles are used to produce energy.</p><p></p><p><a href="http://about.hm.com/content/hm/AboutSection/en/About/Sustainability/Commitments/Reduce-Reuse-Recycle/Garment-Collecting.html">http://about.hm.com/content/hm/AboutSection/en/About/Sustainability/Commitments/Reduce-Reuse-Recycle/Garment-Collecting.html</a></p><p></p><p>I just took a bag in yesterday and got a 15% off coupon. </p></div>
