Abstract

This chapter provides insights into pre-loved garments and their reuse, by further evaluating whether this could be considered a pain or gain within the current economy. The chapter starts off by exploring why the pre-loved market is important, before exploring issues surrounding terminology of ‘pre-loved’, ‘pre-owned’, and ‘second-hand’. It finally moves on to outlining benefits and drawbacks of reuse and further highlighting examples of what is currently happening within the industry to actively encourage reuse and prevent landfilling of garments.
