The global problem is not the stuff that is in a good enough condition for resale. It's the stuff that isn't and still ends up in the donation bins.

- cantrip 9y agoI'm not arguing what the global problem is. Condition of the donated clothing is not referenced anywhere in the article. I'm arguing that what the author is saying is largely false.
- houseofzeus 9y agoWhere do you think the recyclers in the article are getting their raw materials from? Your counterpoint to the authors claim that nobody wants your used clothes anymore seems to be that a handful do, which is great but is a drop in the ocean compared to the amount of new product being churned out, consumed, and ultimately dumped - albeit in some cases via a donation bin or even a cycle of reuse - via the fast fashion chains.
