How to recycle old clothes and where can I sell them?

Old clothes can be recycled and sold in the following places:

First, the recycling of old clothes.

1, residential clothes recycling box

At present, many residential areas have done a good job of sorting and recycling garbage, but all recyclable garbage is classified together, and there are few for old clothes. There will be idle clothes recycling bins in individual communities in big cities such as Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, but often many of them do not indicate the purpose and destination of recycling.

This can actually give us some enlightenment. We can set up a clothes recycling box in the community, which saves the rent and labor cost of the recycling point and only needs to collect clothes regularly.

This can be said to be a very efficient and convenient way. However, it also has disadvantages: many communities often do not allow individuals or companies to set up recycling bins, or they have to pay some fees or get the consent of neighborhood committees.

Friends who want to go this way, it is best to cooperate with some people who have resources in this field. Such as property, garbage sorting office, charity and so on. They also need someone to share their dirty work. A common way now is to pay them a certain percentage of money to recycle some clothes.

Many people may think that this is selling dog meat with a sheep's head hanging. But in fact, with the development of China's economy, there are fewer and fewer places that need old clothes. Even if necessary, not all clothes are needed. Many clothes donated to the disaster area are not wearable, and some are donated abroad or disposed of.

2. Change old clothes for daily necessities.

For urban residents, there will be a lot of clothes to deal with, but if they are recycled by the catty, there will be nothing left except labor costs. You can consider using some daily necessities instead, such as washbasins, scissors, pliers, small cosmetics and so on. This method is better than leaving old clothes at home, so many residents will exchange them at the end of the day, once a week or two, which is also a good model.

This way, if possible, can also be developed into online mode. After donating old clothes online, users can get some material rewards, such as some paper towels and fruits, which are very practical and popular.

3. Develop online clothes collection mode.

This method is no longer limited by geographical areas and can be carried out on a large scale throughout the country. This method is completely an internet game, and traditional recycling companies have been trying it in the past two years. And with the development of express delivery industry in China, this method will become more and more popular. After all, it is much easier to receive a lot of clothes only by online operation than offline.

Second, a place where you can sell old clothes.

1, donated to the mountain area

Some environmental protection organizations that recycle old clothes will donate some of the recycled clothes directly to people in poor mountainous areas after disinfection and cleaning to alleviate the pressure of life.

However, it is difficult for us to know whether this kind of donation is really beneficial to the recipients, whether these old clothes really suit them, and what they will do with the old clothes that are not suitable for them. This action seems to make us more worried.

2. Secondary circulation and export to other countries

Some environmental organizations that recycle old clothes will hand them over to legal and compliant factories for disposal. The factory will sort some clothes with good quality and color, carry out a series of professional cleaning work such as cleaning and disinfection, and then export these clothes to poor or war-torn countries such as Africa and Southeast Asia to continue the use value of old clothes.

3. Environmental protection and regeneration

In addition to secondary circulation, these legal and compliant factories also recycle old clothes, decompose cotton, polyester and other materials by some physical or chemical methods, and then process them into environmental protection materials such as agricultural thermal insulation, building or industrial sound insulation, making the recycled old clothes a recyclable resource.
