Recently, the SkyFi satellite imaging application recorded images of discarded clothes in the Atacama desert in Chile, which shows that this mountain of clothes can also be seen from space.
According to Tekna technology and technology news service, discarded clothes in northern Chile grow by 39,000 tons annually. The pictures related to these clothes were recorded recently and according to the calculations, 92 million tons of garbage are produced in this area every year.
These images, which were recently published on the SkiFi website, show how big this clothing mountain is compared to the nearby city, and how real the problem is.
Explanations are provided along with this image. SkyFi has said about this: This picture has exposed the reality. Even the pile of these clothes can be seen from space. It seems that we need to think for a change in the fashion industry. Previously, AFP had announced that the clothes left in the Atacama desert were products of China and Bangladesh, which were sold in the United States, Europe and Asia. According to this news agency, the amount of clothes imported to these areas is 59,000 tons annually.
Some of these clothes are bought by Chilean merchants and some are transported to other regions by clothes smugglers. Of course, the growth of this mountain of clothing is 39 thousand tons every year. One of the companies that uses discarded clothes to make insulating panels has declared that these clothes are not suitable for use. Because they are not biodegradable and contain chemicals in their tissue.
