Did you know that a whopping 92 million tonnes of textile waste is produced annually, with a large portion of the 100 billion garments manufactured each year ending up as waste? Every clothing item carries a significant environmental footprint, from the water used in growing cotton to the energy consumed in manufacturing, not to mention the physical space these items take up in landfills. Throwing away clothes is like throwing away all those resources, too. Moreover, many of our clothes today are made from synthetic materials like polyester and nylon, which are essentially types of plastic. These materials take hundreds of years to decompose; as they do, they can release harmful gases into the atmosphere and chemicals into the soil. It's a slow but steady process that contributes to climate change and pollution.

But here's the good news - together, we can make a difference! By choosing to shop, sell, swap, and drop on Yordrobe, we can all give our clothes a new life and keep them out of landfills. We can also support brands that prioritize sustainable and ethical production methods. Every little bit helps!

Let's turn the tide on textile waste and strive for a more sustainable future! Our planet will thank you for it.
