Textile recycling should be introduced as mandatory into every single home in the U.K.
There should also be a module introduced into schools on the importance of recycling & social responsibility. Communicating the textile recycling message to both homedwellers and dependants educated in the U.K.

Additional Information

The U.K clothing sector is responsible for more than 3m tonnes of co2 emissions.
consuming 2.16m tonnes of clothing and textiles/year, spending approx £38.4bn on clothing alone.

Households in the uk send more than 18.8m tonnes of rubbish (1.4m textiles) to landfill every year-2m tonnes more than EU counterparts.
