China produces over 70,000 tons of textile waste per day (about 26 million tons each year), and this problem cannot be tackled by recycling alone. Moreover, textile consumption has increased by over 400% in the last two decades, as stated in the film, The True Cost . Textile waste is not just a burden to fast-filling landfills, but the very production of textiles creates a number of environmental problems, from increase water usage for cotton to the harmful waste products of the dyeing, printing and bleaching process.

中国每天生产超过 7万吨 的纺织垃圾(每年约2600万吨)，而且这个问题不能仅靠回收来解决。此外，在过去的二十年里， 正如电影 《时尚代价》 所述，纺织消费的增长了超过400%。纺织废料不仅是快速填满垃圾填埋场的一个负担，而且纺织品的生产制造了许多环境问题，从增加 棉花 的用水量到印染、印刷和漂白过程的 有害废物 。

RE:FORM aims to collaborate with various stakeholders, including: community service organizations, retailers, recyclers, circular economy startups, educational institutions, companies, media, and most importantly, consumers, to drive change towards conscious fashion.  Reusing, and recycling of used textiles are both alternatives to the production of new clothes and have immediate positive environmental impact.

旧衣新生 旨在与各种利益相关者合作，包括：社区服务组织、零售商、回收商、循环经济创业公司、教育机构、公司、媒体，以及最重要的消费者，推动转向有意识的时尚。重新使用和回收旧的纺织品都是新衣服的替代品，并立即产生积极的环境影响。
