In the UK alone, we buy more than two million tonnes of textiles a year, throw half of it in landfill, and currently recycle only a quarter. Although we are becoming more aware of the economic, social and environmental impact of textile production, most of us have no idea of how the global textile recycling trade works or its impact. These photographs explore these journeys in an effort to join the dots in what is otherwise an invisible global trade. Clothing Recycled is an ongoing collaborative project between Anthropologist Lucy Norris and Photographer Tim Mitchell.
