A lot of people have been asking me of late, how to recycle this, how to recycle that and the best part is... no one knows. Except for paper, bottles (plastic and glass) and aluminium cans. Even these three items, we're not sure how they are recycled (or processed) but we definitely know how to get rid of them.
So how do you get rid of stuff?
Well... I'll try to find out as much as possible on how to get rid of your general stuff by first avoiding the landfill. Unless absolutely needed, we will not recommend you to bin it (which as you guess, will end up in one of the many bursting landfills in Malaysia).
So, today we will share on what's the best way to recycle your inner garments.
1) Underwear both male and female, adult and kids - because of hygiene purpose, most unfortunately you don't have a choice but to throw them away. Unless, you have a better suggestion? (That does not include flipping them over your head and rob the neighbour :Pp)
2) Bras for female - we've contacted a couple of notable lingerie brands and only three came back to us (Xixili, Sloggi and Triumph - we suspect the latter two are connected so the answer is pretty much the same). They'd recommend you to call a recycle association to check instead but if it's still wearable, drop it at Xixili's boutique (however, they did not mention if it's only exclusive to Xixili brands only - still awaiting their response, so check this space for more information). As for Sloggi and Triumph, both answers are the same - if they are still wearable, donate them to charity or Salvation Army. If you google 'recycle bras', you'll also realize how creative some people can get, but... you know what? Let's keep arts and craft to arts and craft :)
3) Inner thermal wear (or Long Johns) - definitely definitely definitely, people need this in cold countries. Unfortunately, we really have no answer right now as to which is the best organisation to donate them to, other than Salvation Army. My suggestion would be... the next time you're travelling to a cold country, bring them along and drop them for charity there instead. The good thing is, you'll magically create extra space in your luggage for souvenirs :)
Well... hope the above helps. Next time, we dispose something else :) responsibly
