I don't know if you have noticed that there are special recycling bins for old clothes in urban living quarters. I have voted for clothes many times, thinking that these clothes will be donated to poverty-stricken areas or disaster-stricken areas.
This is not the case. After uniform processing, these second-hand clothes are divided into jackets, trousers and shoes, packaged in batches, and then loaded on ocean-going cargo ships, and finally sent to the second-hand clothes market in Africa. It is said that second-hand clothes in China are very popular. As soon as it arrived, it was immediately "snapped" by Africans.
It should be noted that these second-hand clothes are not donated to Africa for free, but are sold to African wholesalers at a price of about 3,000 yuan per ton, and the wholesalers sell them to used clothes stall owners, especially women's clothes, which are very popular. , are all rushing, every time the goods arrive, the stall owners selling second-hand clothes are happy, and the opportunity to make money comes again.
The answer is already obvious. Most of the old clothes recycling bins in the community are not charitable organizations, but individual companies. Most of the clothes we donate will not be donated to poverty-stricken or disaster-stricken areas, and useful clothes are sold. In Africa, useless clothing is either burned as garbage or sent to municipal landfills for disposal.
