This document discusses recycling of garments. It provides information on the concept and process of garment recycling. The benefits of recycling include financial benefits, conservation of resources, energy savings, job creation, and environmental protection. The process involves collecting garments, sorting by fabric type, sending wearable clothes to charities and processing unwearable textiles by reclaiming fibers to make new garments.

4. WHAT IS GARMENT
RECYCLING
Textile recycling is the process by which
old clothing and other textiles are
recovered for reuse or material recovery.
It is the basis for the textile recycling
industry.

5. BENEFITS OF RECYCLING
 Financial Benefit
 Conservation of Resources
 Energy savings
 Community Building
 Jobs creation
 Strong economy
 Environmental Protection

6. PROCESS OF GARMENT
RECYCLING
All clothing has a useful second life. The
collected garments are sorted and graded as
natural, synthetic and blended fabrics. Good
quality clothing is sent to charity institutions
and is used as second hand clothing.
Unwearable textiles are considered as
damaged textiles, and are processed in the
factory as rags. Rags are collected and sent to
the wiping and flocking industry. Other
materials will be sent for fibre reclamation and
stuffing. Fibres from the old fabrics are
reclaimed and are used for making new
garments. Threads from the fabric is pulled out
and used for re-weaving new garments or
blankets. Both natural and synthetic fibres can
be recycled this way.
Cotton clothes are recycled and
used for paper manufacture, automotive, and
mining industries and various other uses.
Some old clothes are being reused in a
creative way by fashion designers to make
fashionable garments

7. Redesigning Clothes
Change an existing
garment to make it
suitable for more wear
Change a garment's style
and fit as well as its color
and trim • Practical way
to get the most from
what you have • Use
your time and skills to
expand your wardrobe
with little or no cost

10. Recycling is one of the oldest and most established recycling industries in the world, yet,
few people understand the recycling industry . Textiles have been recycled since the
eighteenth century when the Napoleonic War caused virgin wool shortages and required
that wool fibers be garneted into new yarns. Even though the textile industry has been
utilizing used fibers for at least 150 years, the markets for recycled textile fiber continue to
evolve.

12. FOR GARMENTS TO BE RECYCLED, THERE ARE
FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN NATURAL AND
SYNTHETIC FIBERS. FOR NATURAL GARMENTS:
1.THE INCOMING UNWEARABLE MATERIAL IS SORTED BY
TYPE OF MATERIAL AND COLOR
2. ARE GARMENTS THEN PULLED INTO FIBERS OR
SHREDDED
3.THE YARN IS THEN CLEANED AND MIXED THROUGH A
CARDING PROCESS
4.THEN THE YARN IS RE-SPUN AND READY FOR
SUBSEQUENT USE IN WEAVING OR KNITTING.

14.  Take your old jeans out of the closet and
turn them into a useful shopping bag!
 Lets face it, we all have a favorite pair of
jeans that won't fit anymore, but we'll never
throw them away. Simultaneously, we use
hundreds of disposable plastic shopping
bags every year, which are really not good
for the environment, even if we do recycle
them.
 Keep your sentimental old bluejeans, give
them new life, and help the environment at
the same time.

15.  This bag takes about three hours to make, if you have
sewing experience. If you don't have experience, it
might take a little longer, but you WILL be able to do it!
 To make a bag using this pattern, you will need:
 One pair of old jeans with a 26 inch inseam or longer
 Small piece of Velcro (optional)
 Thread
 Scissors
 Ink pen or marking chalk
 Shoelace
 Measuring tape

16.  Cut a strip, 3 inches wide, from the
outside of each leg, centered on the
seam.
 In this case, the jeans are cargo pants,
so the strips will be shorter than they
would for a pair of regular jeans.
 If you have regular jeans, go all the
way up to the waist band. Just cut the
whole seam out of the outside of the
leg, keeping it 3 inches wide.

17.  After you cut the outside seams,
the pants will be really floppy,
which makes this step a lot easier.
 Lay each pant leg out flat, and cut
it off as closely to the crotch as
possible.
 Trim off the bottom hem.

18.  Cut a square, as large as possible,
from the remains of the jeans, to be
a pocket.
 OR cut out one of the back pockets,
leaving about one inch of cloth all
the way around.

19.  Cut 18 inches from the bottom of the
pant legs, and trim off the bottom
hem if you haven't already.
 Left over, you should have two
curved pieces of fabric at least 8
inches wide, from the upper part of
the pant legs.
 Technical note: This example was
made with a 30 inch inseam. If your
jeans have an inseam less than 26
inches, you will need to modify the
pattern by reducing the size of the

20.  From the leftover strips, trim the
curves off as shown in the photo, to
make straight edges.
 Then cut them each in half the long
way, so you'll have a total of four
strips of fabric that are all the same
width. They don't have to be any
specific size, as long as they are
more than 2 inches wide.

21.  You should now have:
two large pieces (front & back of
bag),
four strips of matching width
(edges of bag),
two 3 inch wide strips with the
seam down the middle (handles),
and a square of cloth for a pocket
(or a recycled pocket).

22. The United States market is the single largest
driver/consumer of this chindi product,
providing a natural opportunity to influence
its material makeup and design. While
traditionally a high value carpet outlet, Rugs
& Home has incorporated chindi rugs in its
outlet inventory of items. importers are also
driving innovation by creating additional and
alternative products, such as bright chindi
sofa cushions and pillows.
T-shirt, coats, and other organic fibres used to
manufacture.
