A Qualitative Study of Women's Apparel Disposal Decision Making

Authors: Jenna Bubna (University of Missouri) , Pamela Norum (University of Missouri)

Abstract

How consumers dispose of apparel is receiving increasing attention. In an effort to reduce textile waste ending up in landfills, this research addresses how consumers currently dispose of unwanted apparel. Understanding attitudes and perceptions associated with disposal of textiles may provide insight on how to raise awareness regarding other options available (Hawley, 2009).
