Recycling clothes

Did you know that in addition to donating to Goodwill, Salvation Army and other charities, that H&M is now accepting clothes to recycle?  

Some clothes are too far gone for donating for re-use.  The clothes taken to H&M will be used in one  of 4 ways.  

Rewear - Clothing that can be worn again is marketed worldwide as second-hand goods.

Reuse -Textiles that are no longer suitable to wear are converted into other products, such as cleaning cloths.

Recycle -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.

Energy -When rewear, reuse and recycle are not options, textiles are used to produce energy.

I just took a bag in yesterday and got a 15% off coupon.
