Problem?
In spite of several alternate solutions available, 85% of recyclable/reusable clothes end up in the landfill. In this day and age people don’t realise the kind of waste that is generated due to textile/clothing as they are overshadowed by other problems prevailing in the society. Most of the youth indulge in fast fashion at a higher frequency now; they either don't discard old clothes or discard it in a non-eco-friendly manner. 

An ideal situation would be where the consumer is more aware about his buying pattern and frequency and would be more conscious of what to buy, when to buy, where to buy and how to discard in an eco-friendly and economical manner.
