Recycle and Save with H&M

Starting in February the Swedish retailer  H&M will reportedly be launching a global initiative to get consumers to recycle their old  clothes they would otherwise throw away.  In return for the used goods H&M will  offer shoppers a voucher for a future purchase. The fabric from the recycled clothes will be re-used for new garments or other fabric based products like rags and padding.

H&M is launching a global initiative to encourage shoppers to recycle the clothes they no longer wear instead of throwing them in the trash. The retailer has said that as much as 95% of the clothes people would throw away can be used again.
