Waste material matters!
It is essential to recycle textiles as they present particular problems in landfills. Synthetic (man-made fibres) products will not decompose, and while woollen garments do compose, they produce Methane, which contributes to Global Warming. Clothing must be collected in a separated system as contamination with other waste material renders the clothing unfit for recycling.
As the clothing collected is of a very high standard, it is exported around the world for re-wear and recycling. We co-operate with reputable specialist companies worldwide to achieve our sustainable ambitions.
