摘要

A wise person once said, "All good things must come to an end." That could be either a happening party, a blissful vacation, a fantastic meal, or that favorite shirt you won't stop wearing despite its many holes. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in 2012 about 14.3 million tons of textile products made their way to landfills in the US-that's 5.7% of all generated municipal solid waste. To find a way to lengthen the lives of textile products, and also increase the amount that are recycled, would obviously have a great impact on our environment.
