Textile Recycling
Textile recycling is the process of recovering and reusing materials from old or unwanted fabrics. This can include clothing, linens, and other textile products. The goal is to reduce waste in landfills and conserve resources by turning discarded textiles into new products, such as insulation, rags, or even new clothing.
The recycling process typically involves sorting, shredding, and processing the textiles. Organizations like Goodwill and The Salvation Army often collect used clothing for recycling. Additionally, many brands are now incorporating recycled materials into their products, promoting sustainability in the fashion industry.
