Keep Useful Clothing And Materials In Circulation
An unwanted item is not necessarily at the end of its useful life. We consider whether clothing and textiles can continue to be used before looking at other recovery options.
Assessment and sorting help identify items suitable for onward reuse. Their condition and the requirements of the receiving route shape what is practical.
Where direct reuse is not appropriate, material recovery may offer another next step. We discuss available options honestly, without assuming every textile can follow the same route.
Reuse Comes First
Suitable items are considered for continued use before material recycling.
