Your old, unwanted clothes can be turned into building materials.
An abundance of cheap clothes and short-lived fashion trends mean that most garments are thrown out after a few seasons, generating a million tonnes of landfill across the world each year, releasing toxic chemicals and greenhouse gases. Instead of winding up in landfill, used and unwanted clothes could be converted to solid building materials, from sound-absorbing to heat insulators inside floors, walls and ceilings.
