Be Part of a Growing Market: The Textile Recycling Industry

There’s more awareness than ever of ‌living sustainably, particularly with younger demographics. A recent study shows that Gen Z (currently aged between 9 and 24) are the most likely group to change their lifestyles to be more environmentally friendly, followed by Millennials (between 25 and 40). And with almost 60% of the population in Panama City Beach under the age of 44, now is the time to act.

The clothing industry currently accounts for approximately 10% of global carbon emissions, generating greenhouse gasses caused by the energy used in producing, manufacturing, and transporting textiles around the globe. In addition, most clothing produced today also uses synthetic fibers, which are made from fossil fuels, meaning production is much more energy-intensive.

Given most of our clothing ends up in landfills, we all need to work together to look at ways to create a more sustainable environment for our planet. As an owner of a recycling clothing franchise with Clothes Bin®, you can help address this global issue.
