Clothing in Your Compost!

Writer: Lea EvergreenLea Evergreen

Have you considered what happens to your clothes after you have finished wearing them?

I take mine to the opp shop and from then on they leave my awareness.

Until one day recently when I began to consider that I was really running an eco business and all that I strive to do is in service to humanity to return us to natural origins.šŸƒ

With some research I realised that my love of natural fibres had nothing to be with being elitist it was ethical and in service to mother earth.šŸŒ

Natural fibres will decompose in your compost! You and I can complete they cycle of clothing in our own back yards. There is no reason to see landfills become over populated with clothing when you chose wisely.

In your compost - šŸŒ¾ Linen will decompose in 2 weeks šŸŒæ Cotton In 6 months šŸ‘ Wool In One year šŸŒ± Bamboo In 1 year šŸ› Silk In Four years šŸ‘Ž Polyester and nylon In 200 years šŸ‘Ž Plastic tags and tabs 400 years

Why don't you try burying some stained or torn clothes in your compost and see what happens. First remove the tags, labels and zips.
