>85% of all textiles go to the dump each year

So only 15% of textiles make it into someones home or office and doesn't get thrown out. Where is the waste? I assume it is 1) Unsold stock, 2) Unusable material during manufacturing, and 3) Consumers throwing clothing away in the first year of ownership.

Could we reduce waste most significantly by moving to on-demand clothing manufacturing?
