Every year 100,000 tons of clothes and household textiles are thrown away in Bulgaria, which is equivalent to more than five times the weight of the National Palace of Culture in Sofia. The alarming figures are part of the exhibition entitled "Textiles are the new plastics", which opened on Monday at the entrance to the Sea Garden in Varna and will run until July 17, the Bulgarian Association of Circular Textile (BACT), which is the organiser of the exhibition, said Monday.
