States, and the <a href="https://www.cebic.vic.gov.au/learn/explore-by-industry/textiles">average Victorian creates 28kg of textile waste each year</a>. Although around 95% of the clothes sent to landfills could have been reused or recycled, only 7% of textile waste is recycled. </p> <p>In addition to taking up space in landfills, textiles also consume 98 million tonnes of non-renewable resources globally each year, like oil to produce synthetic fibres, fertilisers to grow cotton, and chemicals to produce dye.</p> <h2>What we鈥檙e doing in Victoria</h2> <p>To address the problem of textile waste, the Victorian Government has invested <a href="https://www.cebic.vic.gov.au/news/articles/powering-innovative-solutions-to-reduce-textiles-waste-in-victoria">over $630,000 in 5 projects that will avoid more than 600 tonnes of textile waste per year</a>. </p> <p>This includes a project led by Australian fashion label <a href="https://www.cebic.vic.gov.au/grants-funding-and-investment/funded-projects/funded-project-revolutionising-the-entire-lifecycle-of-clothing-from-purchase-to-disposal">A.BCH</a> to connect the oversupply of textile materials with demand through an <a href="https://www.circularsourcing.world/">online marketplace</a>.</p> <p>Global outdoor brand <a href="https://www.cebic.vic.gov.au/grants-funding-and-investment/funded-projects/funded-project-kathmandu-apparel-life-extension-pilot">Kathmandu</a> received funding as part of this initiative to intercept used, damaged or faulty products destined for landfills and repair them to be resold under the Kathman-REDU label.</p> <p>At a more grassroots level, we鈥檝e supported projects like an op-shop and slow fashion hub for Neighbourhood Collective Australia, and an upcycled clothing project for Antiochian Community Support Association. We鈥檝e also helped an <a href="https://www.sustainability.vic.gov.au/news/news-articles/how-one-community-has-come-together-to-fight-textile-waste">old church in Bendigo to expand their second-hand clothing shop into a sustainability superhub</a>. </p> <p>Textiles are not just about fashion, which is why we鈥檝e supported the Phillip Island Community and Learning Centre to create a repair centre for heavy materials like tents, caravan annexes, ute tonneaus and surfboard covers so they don鈥檛 end up in landfills.<br /></p> <p>The Victoria Government鈥檚 Circular Economy Business Innovation Centre has also been <a href="https://www.cebic.vic.gov.au/news/articles/inspiring-action-in-the-fashion-industry">bringing together the textile industry to share information, collaborate and innovate to reduce textiles waste and use materials more efficiently</a>. </p> </div> </div> <div id="image" class="component__container "> <span class="image__container "> <img class="image image image--component-image" src="https://assets.sustainability.vic.gov.au/susvic/Image-person-browsing-clothes-in-a-store.jpg" alt="A person browsing clothes in a store." width="1000" height="667" /> </span> </div> <div id="wysiwyg" class="component__container "> <div class="wysiwyg__content wysiwyg__content--dir-auto"> <h2>What you can do </h2> <h3>Ask the following questions before buying something new:<br /></h3> <ul><li>Do I really need it?</li><li>Can I host or attend a clothes swap instead?</li><li>Can I hire an outfit rather than buy one?</li><li>Can I buy something second-hand instead of brand new?</li><li>Is this clothing made by a brand with ethical accreditation?</li><li>Is the clothing made from recycled or environmentally-friendly materials?</li><li>How is this clothing packaged?</li><li>Has this clothing been made to last, and can it be easily repaired?</li></ul> <h3>What to do with clothes and textiles when you no longer want them:</h3> <ul><li>Sell your item at an online or in-person marketplace.</li><li>Donate or give away your item if it鈥檚 in good condition.</li><li>If your item isn鈥檛 in great condition, repair it before donation.</li><li>If your item can鈥檛 be repaired, there are a number of textile recycling options to explore. <a href="https://upparel.com.au/">Upparel</a> can turn your old clothes into furniture, insulation and more. <a href="https://treadlightly.asga.com.au/about/#How">Treadlightly</a> will take your old sneakers and transform them into gym mats, floors and playgrounds.
