Do potrzebujących? Nic z tych rzeczy. Oto, gdzie trafia używana odzież z kontenerów

Gdy w szafach zalegają nam niezniszczone ubrania, których nie nosimy, najczęściej sprzedajemy je za symboliczną opłatą albo oddajemy do kontenerów na odzież używaną. Czy wiesz, co się potem naprawdę z nimi dzieje w drugim przypadku?

Od ponad 30 lat spotkamy je na większości osiedli, w centrum i na obrzeżach. Kontenery na odzież używaną rozmieszczone są w niemal każdym mieście. Oddając tam niepotrzebne ubrania, często wydaje nam się, że w ten sposób pomagamy potrzebującym. Prawda jest zgoła inna. Gdzie naprawdę trafiają używane ubrania?

Gdzie trafia odzież z kontenerów? Niekoniecznie tam, gdzie myślisz

Odzież i dodatki z kontenerów zabierane są zazwyczaj dwa razy w miesiącu. Najpierw trafiają do sortowni, gdzie dzieli się je na ubrania, akcesoria i buty. Te w dobrym stanie zazwyczaj przeznacza się na sprzedaż do sklepów z odzieżą używaną, które często dzielą się niewielką częścią zysku z fundacjami. Tak zarobiona gotówka ma trafiać do potrzebujących. Dobrej jakości ubrania trafiają także do Azji i Afryki. Łącznie aż 30 proc. ubrań ląduje za granicą, z kolei 0,1 proc. przetwarza się na nowe włókna.

Co się dzieje ze starymi ubraniami? Większość zostaje przerobiona

Nieco inaczej wygląda sytuacja z odzieżą zniszczoną, która nie nadaje się już do noszenia. W takim przypadku ubrania trafiają do recyklingu, gdzie otrzymują drugie życie, np. wykorzystywane są do celów przemysłowych. Wytwarza się z nich ścierki czy nawet paliwo. Także w tym wypadku część zysków przekazywana jest fundacjom. Jak możemy przeczytać na stronie PCK, środki pozyskane ze sprzedaży ubrań przeznaczane są na obsługę projektów pomocowych i edukacyjnych. Sama zbiórka ma też wspierać osoby w skutecznym pozbywaniu się niepotrzebnych ubrań. Zamiast wyrzucać je na śmietnik, podarujesz im drugie życie.

Jak działają kontenery na ubrania? Prosty sposób na pozbycie się nienoszonej odzieży

Choć zbiórka niepotrzebnych ubrań do kontenerów wydaje się prosta, w praktyce bywa różnie. Nie brakuje osób, które do środka wrzucają śmieci, szkło, a nawet truchła zwierząt. Ponieważ pojemniki opróżniane są nie częściej niż dwa razy w miesiącu, po takim czasie nawet niezniszczone ubrania przestają nadawać się do ponownego użytku. Dlatego jeśli zdecydujesz się je podarować w ten sposób, pamiętaj o odpowiednim zabezpieczeniu. W ostateczności możesz też je oddać bezpośrednio do fundacji prowadzących zbiórkę, czy znaleźć podobną akcję poprzez media społecznościowe lub grupy. Zamiast wyrzucać, zdecydowanie lepiej poddać je recyklingowi. Jeśli masz ochotę, to zagłosuj w naszej sondzie, która znajduje się poniżej.
