The global retail chain H&M is working to close the loop on the thousands of tons of textile clothing that is thrown away every year that could easily be re-worn, repaired or recycled instead of sent to landfills. H&M has installed free Garment Collecting bins in all of its stores, where you can drop off clothes of any brand to be given a new life when you're done with them. H&M sorts the clothes and separates them into groups: Re-wear (given to thrift shops), Reuse (made into other products, like cleaning cloths) and Recycle (made into entirely new products, like home insulation). Any profit H&M makes is given to social projects to better the world around us.
