Recycling Clothing

Textile recycling is a growing industry. While you can donate clothing for others to wear, if the clothing is ripped, stained, or damaged in some way, it won’t get resold. With textile recycling, clothing that can’t be worn is shredded. The fibers are then used in new ways. It may be turned into fibers used to make new cushions, insulation products, or materials for soaking up oil or heating fuel spills.
