We live in a world where sustainability has become an important part of our lives. Fashion is no stranger to this and so today we talk about how to recycle our clothes. 

Although at ZD we manufacture quality underwear that is made to last, we know that any garment will eventually suffer from wear and tear. Or we simply want to give it a second life when we no longer need it, so that it reaches someone who needs it. 

Whatever your circumstances, we want to help you make recycling clothes easy. Because we believe that ecology should not be at odds with practicality. 

How to recycle your clothes 

It is highly likely that there are collection points, clothing containers or non-profit organizations close to your home that could deliver your used clothes to a new home. 

In that sense, we believe that the best way to recycle is not to produce unnecessary garments or destroy those that can be used. So, before considering other options, we encourage you to start by acting locally. It is quicker, easier, and more efficient. 

Thrift shops, that fantastic opportunity 

Another interesting option, especially if you want to sell second-hand clothes, is to go to a shop that specializes in clothes. 

Remember that there are many online platforms for the sale and exchange of used clothing on the Internet. If you have a high-value garment (e.g., a suit, a dress, etc.), this is an excellent alternative. Not only because you will get paid, but also because you will be recycling your clothes. 

Reconverting clothes that are no longer useful 

In case you want to recycle clothes that are no longer useful, before throwing them away, there is a worthwhile option: to turn them into something else. 

If you think about it, we use a lot of cloths, small cleaning tools for screens, glasses, etc. on a daily basis. These can be replaced by T-shirts, for example, from which you can make, piece by piece, cleaning cloths and rags. 

Alternatively, you can leave those old clothes as a garment for staining tasks. If you are one of those people who paint, do chores in a garden or go for a walk with the dogs in the countryside, you can put them to beneficial use like this. 

Recycling used clothes that are torn 

Another idea we love when choosing how to recycle clothes is to transform them into something new. If you have children around you, or if you like customizing clothes, you can personalize them and test them by exploring ideas on the Internet and social networks. 

A long dress can be turned into a short one, and a white T-shirt into a printed or colored T-shirt, concealing holes, persistent stains, etc. Moreover, it is not only environmentally friendly, but also a very pleasant experience. 

Ultimately, remember that you can always donate and recycle 

As a final thought, we would like to insist that in our country there are containers and entities that collect clothes.  

Before throwing anything away, remember that these types of organizations repair the clothes and get them to those who need them most. Simply donate it in a sealed bag, after cleaning. The planet and those who need the clothes will thank you. 

And if you want to add to this notion of sustainability, make sure you always buy quality clothes. Because it lasts longer, feels better and is worth wearing. In that sense, ZD pampers your intimate apparel so that you can enjoy it for years to come, as it is not suitable for donation.
