Both charitable and for profit organizations in Canada collect used clothes for reuse and resale to fund their missions. On average, up to 95% of used clothing can be repurposed. Roughly 25% are resold into the Canadian marketplace through local thrift stores, and another 30% is sold overseas. Approximately 25% are repurposed into other products (bags/rags), 15% is broken down into low grade fibre that is used for insulation and other industrial products, and 5% ends up as waste.
