Upcycle 

Upcycling is a fun project that you can try alone or with someone. It is the transformation of an item into a new one. For example, turning an old shirt into a pillowcase. If you have clothes with simple defects, you can modify them into something else. It can be something simple like turning an old cloth into a rag or a pants into shorts. Repair clothes that you can fix or repurpose. 

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. So, give out old clothes to friends, families, or charities. The goal is to help someone with a gift. However, before you give someone a cloth you won’t wear again, check for holes and tears and repair them. Try your best to restore the cloth to a good condition before giving them out. 

Sell them for money or swap 

Who says you can’t make money from your old clothes? Go online and sell them on secondhand clothing apps. If you want, you can sell them physically at a thrift store and make some buck in the process. Alternatively, you can swap your old clothes with others for something valuable in return. 

Compost them 

You can compost clothes made from natural fibers like silk, linen, hemp, and cotton. Shred the clothes into small pieces and remove attachments like zippers, buttons, other non-natural elements, and compost. 

Conclusion 

Sustainable and responsible cloth usage will reduce the number of clothes that end up in landfill every year. Try it today and reduce pollution.
