Goodwill Industries of Delaware and Delaware County (Goodwill DE), a nonprofit organization,

is seeking solutions for the annual generation of more than seven million pounds of textiles that

could not be sold in their thrift shops. You are a textile and apparel product consultant. Goodwill

seeks your opinion on the end of use (EOU) solutions for the textile. Please pick up one apparel

product from your wardrobe and complete the following tasks. The purpose of your solution is to

divert the textile waste from landfills.

Task 1. Please analyze the product and describe the serviceability requirements for this product.

Task 2. Please state the fiber content of your product. Please answer why the fiber content is

used in this product. Note: you need to state the properties of the fiber(s) and connect the fiber

property with the serviceability requirement of the product.

Task 3. This product cannot be sold in Goodwill thrift shops. Please propose end of use (EOU)

solutions for the textile fibers. Based on the fiber content of the product, you need to explain

your EOU solutions and describe the obstacles that may make your EOU solutions difficult.

Task 4. Without compromising the serviceability of the product, please make recommendations

to apparel brands/producers on choosing textile fiber content of the product that will be easier for

your EOU solutions.
