The layers of clothes are coming down, the small wardrobe, the left-hand side is winter clothes, the right hand side is seasonal, and the bottom is the old clothes that will never touch the bottom of the box.

"If there is one place to deal with these old clothes," it may be the common aspiration of many Shanghai girls.

A few years ago, Shanghai began pilot recycling old clothes.

Nowadays, clothing brands and non-governmental organizations have joined the team of "old clothes recycling".

Whether it is the "giant panda" recycling box at home, three old clothes changing into a discount clothing brand, or a non-governmental organization that provides door-to-door recycling of old clothes, all have a new way to dust laden old clothes.

To mention the old clothes recycling, in fact, the Shanghai government moved the "1.65 year old, 1 meter wide and 0.8 meter" special collection boxes for old clothing items to the Hushang community in May 2011.

Then, under the protest of the residents, the original collection of square boxes was replaced by the image of the giant panda, and the enthusiasm of the residents to donate clothes was also rising.

So what is the fate of the giant panda so far?

Reporters found the Shanghai Yuanyuan Industrial Co., Ltd., which is responsible for setting up "giant pandas". Yang Yinghong, general manager, told reporters that the total number of clothing recycling points in Shanghai's Hushang community has reached 1380. Among them, there are more than 600 giant panda images. "According to the residential population of our district, we have to arrange the distribution of the total number of 500 pandas, 7 days to 10 days.

Today, an average of 150 tons of old clothes are received every month.

150 tons per month?

But in fact, the giant panda's way into the community is not easy at all.

"Giant panda" was originally demolished beside the traffic signs of "no horn" in lane hall, "Mr. Chen, who lives in Zhonghong building, 1 Lane 571, Zhongxing Road," regrets.

According to Mr. Chen, when the giant panda was set up, there were quite a lot of people who came to deliver clothes. Later, "giant pandas" had not been cleaned for a long time, and the locked doors had fallen off.

"The old clothes in the belly are getting less and less. Instead, plastic bags, mineral water bottles and other domestic garbage have become more and more garbage cans."

Some giant pandas have become trash cans. Some giant pandas have become the daily patronage of hawkers.

"They broke the door and chose the new old clothes, and sold them to the second-hand market after cleaning. They took the opportunity to earn one vote!" an Aunt Li surnamed told reporters. The giant panda's belly broke three times and repaired three times.

Post 90s Entrepreneurship: first, "old clothes change things", high popularity!

"Do you have any unused clothes in your house? Are you worried about looking at the old clothes in the closet? Do you want to use old clothes instead of daily necessities? 5 kilograms of door-to-door reclaim Oh ~", this is the slogan "WeChat" in the latest WeChat release.

"Next generation regeneration" is behind a group of young entrepreneurs who are born in the 1990s. "Our original intention is to replace the waste clothes of residents with some practical daily necessities, so as to create a low-carbon and environment-friendly life concept.

Xiaodong, a staff member of neighbouring regeneration, told reporters that in the first four days of the implementation of "clothes for things", more than 2 tons of clothing had been recovered, and more than 50 households were visited in a row. "The demand of the public is beyond our imagination."

The reporter has learned that there are not many requirements for the old clothes to be recycled.

The only requirement is, please clean it and bring it.

The most satisfying user is the service of "old clothes changing things", which is really good to exchange useless clothes for practical daily necessities.

Even my mother who was never willing to lose her clothes was tempted to pack old clothes.

At present, there are three pieces of daily necessities exchanged.

5 kilograms of old clothes, =1 bag, Vinda paper towel, /1 bag, Bondi band aid, /1 piece, mysterious laundry soap.

7.5 kilograms of old clothes, =1 cute chicken cups, /1 bags, double lights, toilet paper, /1 roll wrap.

"They are very practical things."

As for the use of recycled clothing, it is also a great concern for users. "Our staff will sort out the clothes returned.

A good part of the clothing is donated to the poverty-stricken areas; two special materials are reused and the rest is cleaned and classified separately.

The design of the post-90s is also very intimate -- booking online, staying indoors, and receiving door-to-door products.

The specific steps of recovery are as follows: advance the appointment time of the home visit through WeChat's public account, weigh the weight of the old clothes beforehand, and inform the neighbouring staff with the corresponding daily necessities, and wait for the recall personnel to come to the door.

Clothing brand: three old clothes, exchange 15% off coupons.

When it comes to brand recycling, old clothes are probably the first thing that most people think of is UNIQLO.

Two years ago, the Japanese clothing brand UNIQLO first launched the "old clothes recycling box" in Shanghai. The public can take their old clothes to the store at any time during the business hours.

However, only the clothing of UNIQLO brand is acceptable.

Because of this restriction, UNIQLO's "recycling old clothes" service was once referred to as "insincere".

In fact, the brand that provides similar services is not only UNIQLO.

"There are old clothes in the home, wear out the regrettable chicken ribs. It's better to collect it for H&M. A coat can be converted to a 15% off card, it's a small environmental protection."

On micro-blog, many people mentioned H&M's old clothes recycling service.

The reporter then came to the store in Zhengda square, and at the side of the cash register saw the so-called "Recycle Bin". On the top, he wrote, "we need your old clothes and household textiles to give it second lives and save natural resources."

Just now, a girl was holding three bags of clothes and asked for recycling: "do you accept clothes other than H&M brand?" "we accept any idle brand, quality clothing and household textiles."

"OK, I have three bags on this side. You can have a look."

"Every bag of clothing and household textiles can be exchanged for a coupon, but each customer receives at most two copies per day," OK "OK."

The staff told reporters that recycling old clothes is not for profit purposes. "We will donate all our old clothes to charities for research and development."
