Title
Global Material Flows for Clothing, 2015
Description
This graphic illustrates the product life cycle of the global clothing economy. It appears in a report created for the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, A New Textiles Economy: Redesigning Fashion's Future. Among the report's important points: virtually no recycled materials are used in the manufacture of clothing; two-thirds of that virgin material is some form of plastic; and that about 85% of all clothing materials are wasted during production, end up in landfills, or are incinerated.
