Why St. Pauly Tex�le Inc. collects clothing: ��
According to the EPA, 85% of clothing in the U.S. is thrown
away.� This means that only about 15% of clothing that could
poten"ally be re�used�is collected using exis"ng methods. There
is an enormous global need for used clothing. We are able to
distribute clothing to organiza"ons and people all over the world
who could use�it. All of the clothing and tex"les that we collect is
used�by someone somewhere.�
