Unfortunately, much of the clothing donated to charities or circular fashion programs still ends up either in landfills or being incinerated.","content":"<p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/f2pwipr2xtfqvke2evnq7egug0y5igdzeyqzynrmswponraj.jpeg.jpeg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" alt=\"f2pwipr2xtfqvke2evnq7egug0y5igdzeyqzynrmswponraj.jpeg.jpeg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" \/>The fashion industry churns out up to <strong>100 billion garments <\/strong>annually, contributing to a staggering environmental burden.

The harsh reality is that much of the discarded clothing, even when given to charity or circular fashion initiatives, ends up either in landfills or incinerated. <em>Recycling merely extends the lifespan of materials but fails to address the root issue of waste generation.<\/em><\/p><p><strong>Alarmingly, 60% of the material flow in fashion comprises plastic<\/strong>, translating to tons of plastic being burned or buried every second, under the guise of fashion.
