EPA estimates that Americans send
3.8 billion pounds of clothing to landfills every year.
http://www.themailbox.com/storage/Images/projects/2013/SO/smart2013.pdf
85% of used clothes end up in landfills. Although people may be aware of
how much they are consuming, they are unaware of what to do with used
clothes other than giving them to charity or throwing them away.
Additionally, there is no one source that can help people with ideas
for quick and easy ways to extend the life of their used clothes or
to dispose them consciously.
THE PROBLEM:
I N T R O D U C I N G
USER
RESEARCH:
I purge clothes for my entire family and feel guilty
throwing away Brandon’s designer clothes that
don’tfit. But I don’thave time to resell…I need
convenience so I give it to Goodwill.
I make stuff with them. I am very crafty that way.
Like I made this Burp cloth for a friend’s baby
from my left over t-shirts. I also make dog toys
etc. Since I like crafts… I always make time to
repurpose my favorite old clothes.
Yeah… there has been pieces that I
have kept that I like the fabric off or has
a memory… that I would like to cut and
sew. But I never get around to do it.
