The number of clothes in Australia that were recycled in 2023 was 140 million, at 35,000 tonnes. 222,000 tonnes of clothing ended up in landfill in Australia, at 880 million.

That's a total of 1020 million which is 41 for each person, or one garment each 9 days. If your towel lasts 2 years and you have 10 types of garments then your correct number of towels is 8. That is, dispose of a towel each 90 days.

I have 3.
One I use for a week of daily bathing .

One in the closet clean and ready to be rotated into service to replace the towel on daily duty

One in the car, surfing ,fishing duty and this is also rotated into the the three towels duty service.

Others, I know have in excess of six or 8 towels!

The question I ask someone I love is wtf!
Who needs 8 towels!!!

It’s a sickness that needs to be bulk billed.
You don’t need any more than 3 towels in your life!

What is your view on towels?

And if you personally need more than 3 in your life ?
Post up, there is no judging in this thread- mental health issues manifest in many ways!

That's as wasted as Marla.
