Recycling and reuse
It is estimated that a person buys approximately 16 kg of clothes and a significant percentage are seldom used ... until the end of its useful life in the trash or in a container of textile waste, as the best. Garments of all Spaniards discarded each year, only one in five is deposited in a container of textile waste or delivered to a specialized recycling organization.
A high percentage of the clothes that no longer serves us can be used again, reducing the volume of waste. Because, if the laundry is already produced, why destroy it and produce it again?
Reuse and recycling favor saving energy and natural resources that will cover the production of new garments. It is calculated to produce one kilo of cotton supposed 6,000 liters of water, the emission of CO2 and 3.6 kg 0.6 kg The use of fertilizers and pesticides 0.3 kg. The clothing is collected annually in each container Humana going to end up in a landfill and therefore being incinerated, would produce 10 tons of CO2.
