Today for our Eco Made Monday project, I thought we would highlight a Michelle Kaufmann DIY because as we all know she’s the queen of green.
It’s estimated that more than 1 million tons of textiles are thrown away every year, with most of this coming from household sources. Textiles make up about 3% by weight of a household bin. At least 50% of the textiles we throw away are recyclable, however, the proportion of textile wastes reused or recycled annually in the US is only around 25%.
Textiles made from both natural and man-made fibers can be recycled.
Michelle shows us a great way to turn our old ‘rag and bone’ towels into a great, green, recycled bath mat.
