In the consumer society in which we live today, we do not care whether we need new clothes, the story is changing clothes, and be the latest way to not feel different to others, without thinking what because this involves the manufacturing of a garment no environmental impacts, such as in the manufacture of Nylon, a synthetic fiber, oil is used as raw material and we know that is a nonrenewable resource.

Surely more than once happened to you that despite having a closet full of clothes, do not know what to choose to dress.

I give you some guidelines to consider:

All the clothes that we throw has reached the end of its useful life?
We can afford to buy many new clothes just because fashion has changed from last season?

The changes are not random fashion, behind it are the textile industries that want to sell more, they want us to stop wearing our clothes and really get it. Put in the windows new designs and new colors for the change in fashion really noticed.
Note that the fads keep coming back every few years? Obviously, after more than 10 years almost no one has those items that were used, even though they were in good condition because in each cabinet renovation had to get off our clothes.

Almost anyone who lives in a developed country because it occurs within one to save time will be used.

You stand, "my right to do what you want, dress the current fashion, spend my money on clothes if I want and makes me happy ..." but likewise I invite you to reflect on what I mentioned earlier .

The problem posed here is that every year more and more waste we generate textiles.
Then we have to question what to do with used clothing:
Do we throw in landfills, incinerators allowing certain components of the tissues that are toxic pollutants harm the health of living beings and the environment?

Treatment of these urban waste is important for everyone, both socially and environmentally. Why certain solutions were found as many municipalities have made ​​available to its citizens containers used clothing and shoes for are taken to different sectors depending on the conditions that are:

If it can be reused, are sanitized, prepared and delivered to poor people end up in shops or second-hand clothes.
If you can not be reused, recycled getting new yarn, are given new uses such as for cleaning cloths, and in the latter case are removed.

Therefore this article seeks to raise awareness in our society about what it costs to our planet making new clothes and also learn to extend the life of the clothes we wear.

Recycling is the act of re-entering the cycle of production and consumption material products that reached the end of its useful life.
Today, modern societies have developed different methods of treatment of such wastes, thereby recycling the application is sufficient justification to be implemented.
In the case of used clothing that can not be reused again as clothing, we have several possible fates depending on the materials that compose them.
Most recycling is cotton, as fiber for fabrics industrialized soft, absorbent and permeable. Just by its nature, cotton fabrics can be utilized as a cleaning cloth in different industries, previously cleaned and disinfected.

They are suitable for heavy industry, shipbuilding, paint and body shops, mechanics, polishes, printing, automotive, etc.. , And for example from linen rags hotels are ideal for cleaning windows and screens, to leave no lint.

The textile waste can also be used to produce new raw materials.
This requires sorting by types of fibers (wool, polyester, cotton, silk, nylon, etc.) and then removing them and re-spun.

That way the new yarn may be used by the garment industry to manufacture new parts.
Some of the recovered and recycled fibers can also be used in the manufacture of furniture and mattresses, quilts, stuffed insulation, carpet holders, filters, etc..

The activity carried out by organizations and companies for recovery and recycling of textiles, provides advantages for using recycled products.
These benefits are:

• Reduce pollution in general and energy consumption.
• Using less fossil fuel production.
• Reducing the volume of solid waste in landfills.
• Save virgin materials.

Most of us are aware of the problem of urban waste and to throw the clothes away, besides being very supportive, is a gesture that shows very little respect for the environment. With each season most people renew the cabinet and is a good occasion to those who need what we are not going to use and also prevent tons of textile waste ending up in the landfill.

According to the Ministry of Environment these residues represent 3.7% of all household waste. In recent years, NGOs have been working together with regional governments, municipalities and private entities to use a container of used clothes much more easily accessible and the lack thereof is not a reason to throw the clothes in any container.

Used clothing is deposited in containers should be stored in tightly sealed bags. Once collected, are taken to a sorting facility, where it first obviously is classified according to quality into four groups:

-The best quality clothing goes on sale in shops second-hand.

-Usable clothing is sent to Africa to local associations sell it to small businesses or distributed in emergency situations.

-The clothes damaged, stained, and so on. is sold to textile recyclers, who use it for rags, stuffing for mattresses, pillows, and other products. Almost all clothing is useful. Also footwear.

'Only that is badly damaged, unusable, move on to other recycling processes, such as stuffed furniture, quilts and delete for new tissue.

With the money obtained through these different channels, finance various projects in poor countries: child support programs, school teachers, vocational training, AIDS, emergency solidarity to countries with catastrophes, etc..

So when you decide where to throw your clothes or out of fashion do not hesitate to use containers of clothes for all the reasons previously gave you.
