Textile recycling and environment
02-06-2014
Fashion industry is one of the biggest impact on the environment, as it requires a high consumption of raw materials and energy, both in terms of production and distribution. It also involves a significant generation of waste and emissions.
Since 1987, Humana is promoting environmental protection by encouraging the recycling and reuse of used textile, by applying the philosophy of the 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, which acquires a fundamental value in the fashion industry.
In 2013, the Foundation collected around 18,000 tn of used clothing and shoes, that going to end up in a landfill for incineration, have caused the emission of 57.042 tn of C02*.
Therefore, the benefit to our planet that has textile reuse and recycling is unquestionable.
