Fast fashion is leading to a mountain of clothing being thrown away each year and has a huge impact on the environment, so can we turn our unwanted garments something useful?OPEN YOUR wardrobe and be honest. How long was it since you last wore some of those clothes? Do you think it might be time for a clear out? Languishing in the back of cupboards and bottom of drawers are outfits that don’t fit any more, items that have gone out of fashion, or even clothes that have never been worn. In fact, according to research conducted by sociologist Sophie Woodward at the University of Manchester, on average 12% of clothes in the wardrobes of women she studied could be considered “inactive”.If you were brutal, you’ll probably manage to fill a bin-bag or two with clothes you no longer want or need. But what then?Around 85% of all textiles thrown away in the US – roughly 13 million
