Fabric waste

20 01 10 Clothes

whyneed

Clothing waste is one of the most common problems in modern society. Every year, millions of tons of textiles that are no longer used end up in landfills or are incinerated. This process creates a significant burden on the environment, because most of the synthetic materials used in the production of clothing are not biodegradable. They can remain in the environment for hundreds of years, gradually decomposing into microplastics that end up in soil, water and air.

The problem is also exacerbated by fast fashion, which encourages consumers to buy more and more clothes that become outdated after a short period of time. This approach contributes to a constant increase in the amount of clothing waste. In addition, insufficient infrastructure for the collection and processing of textile waste means that a large part of clothing is simply thrown away without finding reuse or recycling.

Clothing waste management has become an extremely important issue for many countries. Many countries are faced with the need to create and implement effective strategies to reduce the amount of waste and minimize its impact on the environment. Services for waste management, collection and processing: Clothing Code NPV 20 01 10.

Clothing. Code according to the National List of Waste 20 01 10. Operations according to Appendices 1, 2 to the Law of Ukraine "On Waste Management" R7, D13.

A pity for the environment and people

Clothing waste has a significant negative impact on the environment. First of all, a significant amount of clothing is made of polyester, nylon and other synthetic materials that do not decompose in the natural environment. This means that they can remain in nature for centuries, gradually breaking down into microplastics that pollute soils and water bodies.

When burning textile waste, toxic substances such as dioxins and furans are released into the air, which are extremely harmful to the ecosystem and human health. Combustion also contributes to the emission of greenhouse gases, which exacerbates the problem of global warming.

In addition, chemicals used in the production and dyeing of textiles can enter soil and water resources, polluting them. This has serious consequences for flora and fauna, as well as for human health, if such waters are used for drinking or irrigation.


Pity for people

The harmful effect of clothing waste on people begins at the stage of their production. Workers in textile factories are often exposed to toxic chemicals and harsh working conditions, which can lead to serious illnesses.

After clothing becomes waste, it continues to harm people. When burning textile waste, harmful substances are released into the atmosphere, which can cause respiratory and other diseases in people who live near landfills or incineration plants.

Also, microplastics produced by the decomposition of synthetic fabrics can end up in the water we drink or the food we eat, with long-term health consequences. Microplastics can accumulate in the body, causing inflammatory processes, organ dysfunction and even cancer.

Ways to reduce harm

whyneed

In order to reduce the damage caused by clothing waste, it is necessary to take comprehensive measures at different levels. Here are some main areas that can help in solving this problem:

  • implementation of methods of environmental management of clothing waste, which will contribute to reducing their impact on the environment;
  • development and implementation of clothing reuse and recycling programs (R7);
  • increasing the population's awareness of the need to reduce clothing consumption and a conscious approach to shopping;
  • operations for collection, sorting, crushing and processing (D13) of clothing waste should become an integral part of the modern infrastructure;
  • transportation of clothing waste should be carried out taking into account environmental standards in order to minimize their negative impact.

In addition, an important step is the development of responsible consumption. People need to understand that by buying fewer clothes and choosing better quality products, they can significantly reduce waste and reduce their environmental footprint.
