Actually, old clothes can be recycled. Besides being used as clothes, old clothes can also be used as new materials after treatment, such as interior materials for automobiles or building materials, fillers for plush toys, and raw materials for paper industry. Other products can be transformed into homogeneous materials, such as rags, mops and insoles.

It is understood that as early as 1978, Switzerland set up a special company to effectively recycle old clothes. The population of Belgium is only100000, but the total amount of old clothes recycled every year reaches150000 tons. Japan's old clothes recycling activities have received a positive response. 87% of the old clothes were donated to refugees through UNHCR, 3% were used for power generation, and 65,438+00% were processed into thermal insulation materials.

Besides recycling, buying second-hand clothes is also very popular in European and American markets. For example, in many streets and roadsides in Belgium, residents can put old clothes in boxes and wait for recycling companies to collect them. Some of the selected old clothes are sent to second-hand shops owned by recycling companies for sale, and some are transferred to professional factories for reuse. There are more than 2,000 second-hand clothing stores in Japan.
