In the past clothes were only bought when needed and shoping was more of an event but in the contemporary society that we live in today, it is estimated that the average person only wears a garment a number of seven times before being thown away according to a 2015 study by the British charity Barnado's. Whats even worse is that the clothes we wear are usualy infused or fully made out of non-biodegradable materials such as polyester, nylon, rayon and spandex which could take up to 200 years to fully biodegrade these textiles. An eco friendly alternitive to this would be to reuse these textiles when they have been thrown away or to make clothes out of 100% biodegradable resources.
