Landfill was the final destination of an estimated 235 million items of clothing in 2017, according to research by Sainsbury's. Globally, fashion is responsible for 92 million tonnes of waste dumped in landfills each year, and this is projected to rise to 148 million by 2030, as reported by the Copenhagen Fashion Summit. Despite this trend, Waste and Resources Action Programme's (Wrap's) Textiles Market Situation report estimates that 650,000 tonnes of clothing was collected for re-use and recycling in 2014.
