Many companies that recycle are starting to tell people more about recycling clothes. They’re doing this with programs where they pick up old and worn-out clothes right from homes doorsteps. So, let’s spread the word about reusing old clothes. These companies are also using special ways to get clothes from people who have already used them by putting cloth boxes in public places like parks, roads and shopping centers.

Advancing technology and equipping processing units with newly upgraded automation processes are expected to further stimulate market growth. The European Commission-led eco-innovation initiative called Textile for Textile (T4T) is a good case in point. This initiative has introduced near-infrared (NIR)-spectroscopy technology to execute automated sorting applications in the recycled textile sector.                                                                                                             

The advent of eco-clothes that are composed of recycled fabrics, plastics, and other raw materials is also catering to the market growth of clothing recycling. Companies are making decisive and concerted efforts in the direction of sustainability to make circularity a new standard in the fashion and apparel industry.

Garments’ new future involves using recycled materials that can be recycled more than once.
