The primary function of these companies is to gather used clothes, purses, shoes, bedding, and curtains, which are then frequently sold overseas as used apparel. In addition, these enterprises supply raw materials to the “wiping” and “flocking” industries, collecting fiber to be recycled into new clothing.
What is involved in the textile recycling process?
The collected used textiles are manually sorted and graded by highly skilled individuals who are able to identify the wide diversity of fiber types in accordance with specific customer requirements. Using the latest recent weighing and pressing apparatus, the clothing are graded before being weighed and press-packed into bales.
