I never really understand these articles and many of their points. The claim gets made that exporting the clothes to developing nations is bad, but it’s usually products made for developing nations that can be low quality from the factory gate. Claims are often made that 2nd hand clothing disrupts a local clothing industry, but in reality, it’s going to be difficult to compete with global manufacturing. Clothing isn’t a strategic industry imo. And cotton is a plant product, nothing wrong with burning or composting it. Clothing probably ranks as one of the most re-used consumer “products”, both by the initial buyer and subsequent buyers. A real issue is crude oil based fabrics and blends and their recyclability and/or emissions when incinerated. For me, old stuff becomes rags, which I’d otherwise have to buy “new”.
