Clothing Recycling / Take-back Programs
“Personnes” / “No Man’s Land” by Christian Boltanski
How do you get rid of your unwanted clothing?
What other options are available?
What is Textile / Clothing Recycling?
• Reuse - the original product function
• Recycling - use of the clothing material properties (e.g. shredded for rags or sound proofing).
• Over 13 million tons of textile waste was generated in 2010.
• 2 million tons (15 percent) of that waste was recovered, recycled, and reused.
downcycling - less demanding, lower value applications
** The full exhibition used 30 tons (60,000 items) of clothing

required.”
