The biggest feature is rapid change.

As a result, many people have encountered such problems. They don't know what to do with a wardrobe filled with basically worn clothes and shoes.

The clothing recycling plan that will be implemented in New York in September is to solve this problem.

The purpose of the plan is to make clothes and clothes as convenient as possible.

The average American throws 10 pounds of socks, jeans, shirts, sheets and so on every year, while New York put 190 thousand tons of textiles into the landfill in 2008.

New York accepts a bid from a non-profit company and will sign a 10 to 15 year contract with the successful bidder, and the company will be responsible for all the collection boxes.

Not all clothes can be recycled, but some worn jeans or shoes may not be recycled.

But many companies can think of ways to use these clothes for other purposes, and only 5% of the recycled clothing is eventually thrown into the landfill.

If the plan is successful, it will be possible to implement it nationwide.
