VIDEO: What happens to used clothes and textiles in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania?

Estonians buy approximately three new garments per month – considerably more than Latvians or Lithuanians. At the same time, consumption of new clothes has recently increased in all three Baltic countries. The question of what happens to cast-off clothes is a global issue, too, with questions being raised about the sustainability of “fast” fashion. Over the past 15 years, consumers around the world have increased the number of garments they buy, and they now keep these items for about half as long as they once did.
