Textile Waste & Its Impact on the Environment
A factor that most people don’t ever consider is the impact our clothes have on the environment. Textile production requires significant amounts of chemicals, water, energy, and other natural resources. According to the World Resources Institute, it takes 2,700 liters of water to make one cotton shirt. And when consumers throw away clothing in the garbage, not only does it waste money and resources, but it can take 200+ years for the materials to decompose in a landfill. During the decomposition process, textiles generate greenhouse methane gas and leach toxic chemicals and dyes into the groundwater and our soil.

Google, Unilever, Subaru and many other companies are leading the way on zero waste. At Google, many of the company’s key data centers have achieved zero waste and nearly all of the waste from their global data centers is being diverted from landfill. Unilever, with hundreds of factories around the world, achieved its Zero-Waste-to-Landfill goal in 2016, six years ahead of schedule. For the past 15 years, nothing has gone to waste at Subaru. Their manufacturing facility in Lafayette, Indiana, and four plants in Japan, have been zero waste to landfill since 2005.
