Old clothes are worth hundreds of billions, and small bosses earn millions a year. what do you think?

Many people will remember that there are many so-called foreign trade clothing stores on the roadside, where clothes are generally touted as cheap, fashionable and more popular with young people. But in recent years, the number of foreign trade clothing stores has decreased and almost disappeared. On the one hand, these foreign trade garments are refurbished by imported foreign garbage in domestic workshops, and on the other hand, they are not the last orders and defective products of foreign trade garments, so they are wholesale to retailers of standard ordering parties.

But now it's completely different. People in China generally pay attention to the brand and quality of clothes, as well as the source of manufacturers. According to the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, in the first quarter of 20021year, the per capita disposable income in Korea was 9730 yuan, up by 13.7% year-on-year, and people paid more and more attention to clothes.

But at the same time, the clothing recycling industry in China has gradually warmed up, becoming a big market and gradually forming a closed-loop business income model.

According to the market research of relevant institutions, the average service life of clothes is 3-4 years. At present, Koreans buy 5- 10 new clothes every year and lose 3-5 old clothes every year. According to this calculation, 654.38+04 billion people will throw away more than 50 million tons of old clothes. Burning these clothes not only wastes resources, but also pollutes the environment. But some people see business opportunities in these old clothes. Old clothes are a useful resource derived from the old clothes recycling industry.

I think many of you know recycling old clothes. Many communities are using clothes recycling bins. These garbage bins are marked with the words "I love donating", so residents will not voluntarily recycle clothes they don't wear, but some of the recycled clothes will be donated to poor mountainous areas. In addition, enterprises are more inclined to recover profits.

To the surprise of many people, old clothes are not only ugly, but also stained, broken and so on. They are too old to be washed. Old clothes that you don't like are profitable "treasures" for recyclers. These old clothes can not only be directly imported into the foreign trade market, but also be processed into towels and napkins. According to insiders, recycling old clothes is very cheap, but the profit is quite high, and it is easy to earn tens of millions a year.

Old clothes recycling business is mainly divided into three categories, one is to recycle old clothes, process them and finally sell the processed products. According to relevant data, Shandong alone recycles more than 300,000 tons of clothing every year, and the average price of such recycled clothing is only 1500 yuan/ton, and the average first-hand price can reach 2,400 yuan/ton. In other words, it is not 1 ton. To make eye-catching clothes, middlemen can earn 900 yuan by the price difference alone, and the owners of some small workshops can earn millions a year.

Recyclers classify these old clothes according to their materials and styles, and then carry out a series of processing and then sell them in the market. Recycling companies can benefit a lot from it.

When it comes to old clothes, many people think of "black cotton", but in fact, most old clothes are not processed into personal items, but into products such as rags and thermal blankets. After processing countries, the market demand for low-priced clothing in these countries is higher.

The data shows that China exports100000 tons of second-hand clothes abroad every year, among which Africa receives the most second-hand clothes from China. African boys wear Hanfu, and the metal objects on old clothes, such as buttons and zippers, can be directly recycled and resold.

At present, many internet companies have entered the old clothes recycling industry, and there have been old clothes recycling platforms such as white whales, idle fish and flying ants. Ant is an online clothing recycling company. Users can get 790 yuan's ANT FOREST energy after choosing clothes recycling business through Black & Decker platform. Coupled with the huge user base, many people will use Ali to deal with unwanted old clothes. I do.

Today, flying ants have more than 2 million users and can recycle 30,000 tons of old clothes every year. Ma Yun has previously said that good quality old clothes can be exported to foreign countries at a price of 8,000 to12,000 yuan per ton, with 65,438+10,000 tons of old clothes. About 60 million, very profitable.

Nowadays, second-hand clothing has become another sunrise industry, but there are still some turbulence in the industry, which needs continuous improvement to develop healthily and for a long time.
