[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]recycle at H&M. [/b]Interesting thing I read is that those little holes at waist in front are frequently caused by standing at kitchen sink with granite countertops causing them. not sure if that's what caused mine, but cannot figure out why i always get those.[/quote]

FYI - I used to recommend (and recycle) at H&M as well but it seems they don’t really recycle the textiles. See quote below. I now take textiles to the boxes at the Montgomery County Transfer Station which is less convenient. They partner with a group that recycles (allegedly).

“In January 2023, two Swedish reporters decided to hand in ten H&M garments to one of the chain’s many collection boxes in Sweden. To explore what actually happens with the clothes, they equipped all garments with Bluetooth-driven air tags to be able to trace their journey.

After five months of intense tracking, none of the garments had ended up at any of their partner’s sorting stations or recycling facilities, as promised by H&M. Instead, several garments had managed to travel across the globe, ending up in landfills in countries such as Ghana and Benin. These are known as some of the worst dumping grounds in the world. In Ghana alone, a total of 314 000 kilos of clothes, approximately over one million garments, have been dumped by H&M’s partners this year.”[/quote]
