Why it matters
Why it matters
Most clothing is trashed. The U.S. now generates over 15 million tons of textile waste each year, and about 85% still ends up in landfills or incinerated. Globally, that’s enough clothes to fill a garbage truck every second. This is especially tragic for kids’ clothes, as these pieces are often worn just a few times before being discarded.
Donating ≠ local reuse. In the U.S., only ~20% of donated textiles are resold domestically; most are exported, down-cycled, or discarded.
Reusing children’s clothes can cut impact fast. Extending a garment’s life by around 9 extra months reduces its carbon, water, and waste footprints by ~20–30%. Join us in building a safer, sustainable market where clothes stay in use, not waste.
