Because of the huge amount of discarded idle clothes, most of them will be taken to landfill or incineration site, and garbage incineration will produce dioxin, a colorless, odorless and toxic persistent pollutant.
It is not easy to degrade, which will lead to skin diseases, impaired immune function, endocrine and metabolic disorders, teratogenesis and cancer. Because of its serious harm, the World Health Organization listed it as a first-class carcinogen in 1997.
Not only that, throwing away old clothes at will also cause environmental problems such as soil pollution. Some discarded old clothes will be burned and some will be buried. Polyester fiber, which is widely used as clothing raw material, often takes 200 years to decompose naturally after landfill.
Even so, a surprising number of waste textiles are thrown into the trash can every year in China. In view of this situation, the environmental recycling platform has launched the environmental protection concept of "waste without donation".
Users can get Olay beans (platform points) through online booking and collect them at home for free. Aoladou can support public welfare projects or exchange environmental protection public welfare surrounding areas in the platform and participate in online and offline environmental protection public welfare activities.
That is to say, instead of the traditional public welfare mode such as direct donation and material donation, we can recycle the idle articles, entrust legal and compliant processing institutions to carry out environmental protection treatment, enter the environmental protection treatment system to prolong their life, avoid being discarded as garbage at will, and at the same time become the source power to promote the sustainable development of environmental protection public welfare undertakings.
Although environmental recycling is a good way to deal with idle clothes, in fact, less than a quarter of people choose to recycle old clothes every year. Bian Xiang Xiao tells you that only rational consumption can eliminate the waste of resources from the source. Environmental protection is not a person's responsibility, but everyone's obligation and mission.
