Parliament to amend the law, requiring all councils to provide textile recycling
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.
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.
U.K landfill rates are growing faster each year, emitting methane gas and accelerating climate change.
Anyone serious about tackling global warming should support efforts to recycle.
