The reuse rate of used clothes
China is the world’s largest producer and consumer of textiles, with an annual industrial output value of the textile industry reaching RMB 5 trillion. The total textile processing volume exceeding 40 million tons accounts for more than 50% of the world’s total. Thus, the consumption of natural fibers such as silk and hemp is enormous. It relies heavily on chemical fiber products produced with petrochemical products as the primary raw material. With the improvement of people’s living standard, the use cycle of textiles is getting shorter and shorter, and most clothing textiles is eliminated within three to five years.
