So busy but need a “gap”

Great read from @FashionforGood on repair, resale & recycling in fashion ♻️.
But it misses one major piece: the recycling-sorting-export chain that balances Europe’s waste crisis. Without this, EPR laws & fancy tech will struggle.

EU just approved its long-awaited #EPR law for textiles.
👏 Good: Africa’s Kantamanto & similar markets deserve inclusion.
❓But questions remain: how to ensure true traceability & brand accountability without global transparency?
Skeptical about fair execution.

Europe Wants Fashion Producers to Manage Their Own Waste. Critics Say It’s Doing It Wrong.

For one thing, the 30-month grace period to set up EPR schemes following the law’s entry into force is too long, they say.

How do we keep our quality consistent?
👉 By checking at every stage: raw material, sorting, & final loading.
Here’s a glimpse from our Shandong factory: QA sampling a bale of TOP A long dresses 👗
Not just flashy videos — real quality control you can trust.

80 years since WWII victory 🇨🇳.

Watching the 2025 parade reminded us how China grew from scarcity in 1949 to today’s strength through unity, diligence & courage.

At DoDoBird, our mission in textile recycling is built on the same values: responsibility, resilience, and purpose. 🌍

🔥 Why is our “dance queen” Melody literally jumping for joy?
Because last month she hit $500,000+ in sales orders! 💃💰

More big buyers who used to import from Europe, US, Japan & Korea are now choosing China’s factories.

3€ on Shein, 20€ on Vinted? 🤔
Before blaming 🇨🇳 brands for “fake vintage,” let’s ask:
1️⃣ How do we prove what’s new vs. used without global standards?
2️⃣ Didn’t Western fast fashion giants create this culture first?
3️⃣ Is the issue sellers’ honesty or platforms’ weak controls?

🌈 No rain, no rainbow.
On today’s commute, I was reminded that even in the secondhand textile industry — where we deal with tough realities — it’s our mindset that decides what we see. Always choose the sunlight. ✨

Respect to Bank & Vogue – a global leader in textile recycling – for handling 7.04M lbs of used textiles in July.
At DoDoBird, our daily intake alone is 300+ tons. In July, we processed more than what many peers do in half a year. Time the world sees us too!

France just announced €49M to rescue its textile recycling network 🇫🇷 (via @modaes).

The truth? Secondhand is still ruled by competition. While EU players ask govts for help, China’s scale in production & exports makes it a game changer.

♻️ Repairing & cleaning used clothes/shoes adds value.
But what about misleading “as-new” claims flooding markets?

Without transparency across the full chain — from production to resale — it’s hard to judge.

For true growth, our industry needs honesty.

📦 Another shipment on its way to the UAE — TOPB grade long short-sleeve sweaters.

Surprised? Despite a $54,000 GDP per capita, demand for used clothing is strong — especially among migrant workers.

Respect the market, and it respects you.

Even massive 40HQ containers seem like dust when tossed by the sea 🌊

What we choose to ship, buy, and discard matters more than it appears.

China’s toxic bugs are heading north.
Heatstroke is the new normal.

🌍 2023 was the hottest year on Earth since 1850.
Every month from June 2023 to May 2024 broke heat records.
We’re not imagining it — the planet is heating up.

♻️ That’s why ethical, circular industries like #secondhandclothing matter more than ever.

Let’s act now.

Are we becoming plastic humans? 🧬🫠
A July 2025 study found microplastics in 69% of female follicular fluid & 55% of male semen.
Invisible, but already inside us.

🧵Synthetic textiles = #1 source of microplastics.
