For this year’s 51st Earth Day on April 22, don’t forget about the importance of reusing and recycling textiles. According to the Secondary Materials and Recycled Textiles Association (SMART), a global organization of companies involved in the reuse and recycling of textiles and related secondary materials, 95 percent of textiles (any fabric made of interlacing fibers) can be reused and recycled: old clothing (including undergarments), curtains, bath towels, bedsheets, pillowcases, table linens, shoes, stuffed animals, scarves, pet beds and more.
