According to the article Australians are the worst in the world for clothing waste, on average buying 56 clothing items per person per year. That is fucking insane. I would say on average I buy maybe two clothing items per year. In my poverty time there were many years where that number was zero.

Does anyone have worldwide data on these stats?

Maybe it's counting each individual sock as a clothing item? Like so a 6 pack counts as 12 items? Even then though it breaks my brain to read.
