STYLE CLOUD – Der Kleidertausch in deiner Berliner Kiez Bibliothek

In the organizer's words:

Did you know that...?

- almost 40% of German textiles are produced for the wardrobe? We never or hardly ever wear them.

- the ultra-fast fashion retailer Shein puts 7,000 new items of clothing online every day? 82 percent of them are made of plastic.

- around 100 container loads with around 15 million tons of old clothes arrive in Ghana's capital Accra every week? 96 percent of old clothes that are no longer usable are made of plastic.

- less than 1 percent of the clothing produced worldwide is recycled into new clothing?

Swapping clothes instead of textile waste with Style Cloud

One solution to reducing textile waste is to treat the clothes we already have with more appreciation.

That's why we're inviting you to our clothes swap at Berlin neighborhood libraries. True to the motto: share an outfit, style a fit. Come to the opening event at the Schiller Library in Berlin-Wedding!
