Clothes used to be made better. I have a t-shirt that my mom got from J.C. Penney in the 90’s and it’s still in great shape and I still wear it today. I don’t know how long my clothes are going to last, but safe to say they’re likely not going to last that long. Even IKEA wasn’t chipboard in the 90’s, from what I hear.
Things aren’t built to be durable in the majority of cases, and it makes it much harder to be sustainable. I also believe the onus of safe disposal and recycling should be on the companies that choose to use it in their packaging. It’s reduce, reuse and then recycle. It was supposed to be the last choice, guys. Anyway, I guess that’s my first tangent.
