Textile waste is an urgent global problem, with only 12% recycled worldwide, according to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a fashion sustainability nonprofit.

Nowhere is the problem greater than in China, the world's largest textile producer and consumer, where more than 26 million tons of clothes are thrown away each year, according to government statistics. Most of it ends up in landfills.

The country's clothing industry is dominated by "fast fashion" — cheap clothes made from unrecyclable synthetics. And Chinese e-commerce brands Shein and Temu make the country one of the world's largest producers of cheap fashion, selling in more than 150 countries.

Currently, only about 20% of China's textiles are recycled, according to the Chinese government. And many Chinese consumers are unwilling to buy used items anyway.

Still, among younger Chinese, there is a growing awareness of sustainability and some "remade" clothing businesses have emerged.

Designer Zhang Na's fashion label, Reclothing Bank, sells clothes, bags and other accessories made from materials such as plastic bottles, fishing nets and flour sacks.

The items' labels have QR codes that show their composition, how they were made and the source of the materials.

Reclothing Bank began in 2010 to give "new life to old things," Zhang said of her store in Shanghai. A large used clothes deposit box sits outside the entrance.

Zhang said she has seen sustainability consciousness grow since she opened her store, with core customers in their 20s and 30s.

But recycled garments sold at stores like Reclothing Bank cost much more than fast-fashion brands due to their production methods.

And that's the real problem, said Sheng Lu, professor of fashion and apparel studies at the University of Delaware.

"Studies repeatedly show consumers are not willing to pay higher for clothing made from recycled materials" he said.

26 Million Tons of Clothes Discarded in China Each Year

افسوس که نامه جوانی طی شد، و آن تازه بهار زندگانی طی شد
آن مرغ که نام او بود شباب، فریاد که ندانم کی آمد کی شد!

Yet Ah, that Spring should vanish with the Rose! That Youth's sweet-scented manuscript should close! The Nightingale that in the branches sang, Ah whence, and whither flown again, who knows!

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を楽しく勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

ぼくの日常生活の話を聞くことで、日本語のリスニングをよくしたり、新しい言葉を知ってもらえたらいいなと思います。

みなさんお元気でしょうか。
今日もトルコからPodcastを録っています。

今回はトルコの物価について話します。

トルコの物価はかなり上がってきています。
たとえばサバサンド、おいしいですが、YouTubeで見ていた3年ぐらいまえの値段では30とか50トルコリラでしたが、今はだいたい100トルコリラします。

店によってももちろん違うので、120トルコリラするところもあるし、50トルコリラで食べれる店もあります。

今2023年11月でトルコリラは$1＝28トルコリラ
日本円だと、100トルコリラ＝¥516ぐらいです。

今1か月半ほどイスタンブールにいますが、この期間の間にも物価は変わりました。

店によってはいくつかの料理が10トルコリラ＝¥50ぐらい上がっていました。

物の値段がほとんど変わらなかった日本と比べると、本当に違う環境にいます。

でもスーパーに行くと、日本より安い野菜や果物はたくさんあります。いろんなものが日本よりはまだ安いので、生活はしやすいなと思います。


たぶん、他の国の人から見ると、日本も同じように物価が安い国に見えるんだと思います。

そして基本的にはあまり値段は変わらないです。

あらためて、日本は物の値段が安いけど、おいしい物がたくさんあるなと思います。日本に帰ったらそばを食べたいなぁと考えています。

みなさんの国の物価はどうですか？

そんな話もぜひオンラインレッスンでしましょう！


ということで今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！

Ep.2 被鎖在家門外（B2）

Success isn't handed out, and it certainly isn't neat. Welcome to the show where we pull back the curtain on the real trade-offs, bold risks, and raw sacrifices female CEOs made to build multi-million dollar empires. From cutting out dating and risking personal savings to defying social norms and bending the rules—we talk about what it actually takes to reach the top. No sugarcoating, no fluff. Just real strategies from women who chose greatness over comfort.
