Australians buy an average of 27kg of textiles each year (including leather and home linens) and then discard 23kg into landfill, mostly synthetic fibres. So the amount of textiles Australians consume annually is double the global average of 13kg a person.

That's not a good stat for Australia am I right!

This week we look into textile waste and explore some alternatives to synthetic fabrics as we journey towards leaving a lighter footprint on the Planet.
