ARCHIVE: Textiles recycling – Recycling Credits and Charities Consultation 2012

RECYCLING CREDITS AND CHARITIES CONSULTATION

Did you know that Merseyside households throw away 22,000 tonnes of clothes and textiles each year? Clothes that could be re-used or recycled and they all end up in a landfill site. This huge amount of waste brings unnecessary expense for you, local councils and the environment. With bring-banks and clothes recycling banks dotted about all over Merseyside, not to mention charity shops who accept a lot of material, it doesn’t have to be this way.

MRWA is currently working with its district council partners and local charities to improve all aspects of clothes re-use and recycling on Merseyside. We are also working with WRAP (the Waste Resource and Action Programme) to develop a Stakeholder Forum and a campaign to boost greater textile recycling.
