	abstract = {<p>From April 2013 onwards textile giant Hennes \&amp; Mauritz launched its {\textquotedblleft}Don{\textquoteright}t let fashion go to waste{\textquotedblright}-campaign and offers its customers to bring their used clothes back for a discount. H\&amp;M, known for supplying cheap and fast fashion now also entered the business of disposal of clothing that is a growing market for decades. Alternatives to H\&amp;M or the dustbin are already established in second-hand shops, flee-markets, legal or illegal recycling-banks or swapping in peers or family. Additional to these practices new forms like swap-parties help people to reduce their textile waste while considering time, money, ethics and resources to assemble a local fragmented textile infrastructure.</p>},
