Eventually, there comes a day when our clothing is no longer useful to us. But this is by no means the end of the story for these global garments.
In this video, with Dr Rebecca Collins, Dr Caroline Day, and clothing industry expert Jacob London, we explore what happens to clothing we no longer want, what impacts this discarded clothing has, and what individuals and clothing companies can do to be more sustainable.
