TEXTILE house - Sorting & Recycling

♻️ The Journey of Recycled Textiles: Cotton Wipers At TEXTILE house, our mission to address global textile waste continues with various recycling solutions. Today, as part of our Journey of Recycled Textiles, we introduce Cotton Wipers. Made from recycled cotton-rich fabrics, Cotton Wipers are the result of meticulous manual sorting. Non-reusable cotton garments, such as T-shirts, towels, and bedsheets, are carefully even-sized cut and repurposed into absorbent, and durable cleaning cloths. These wipers are washable and reusable, making them a reliable solution for industrial cleaning, maintenance, and workshop applications. By creating products like Cotton Wipers, we’re reducing textile waste, conserving resources, and contributing to the circular economy. With over 99 million pieces expected to be sorted at TEXTILE house in 2024, we remain committed to finding innovative ways to extend the lifecycle of fabrics and minimize environmental impact. 🍃 Stay tuned as we continue to share more about our recycled products and their role in building a sustainable future. #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #TextileRecycling #TEXTILEHouse #CottonWipers

♻️ The Journey of Recycled Textiles: Introducing Cover Mat At TEXTILE house, we’re turning textile waste into solutions that support sustainability and meet practical needs. As part of our commitment to circularity, we’re excited to introduce Cover Mat, a product born from recycled fibers. Cover Mats are made from unwearable sweaters of synthetic fiber. Using innovative needle technology, these fibers are transformed into a durable, versatile mat, ideal for various applications, from protecting floors during painting and construction to safeguarding surfaces during gardening or furniture transport. In construction, Cover Mat offers an added benefit for freshly concreted surfaces by slowing water evaporation, reducing the risk of cracks. This product is just one example of how we create value from discarded textiles, giving them a second life while reducing waste and resource consumption. Cover Mat exemplifies our vision of a sustainable future where recycled materials not only address environmental challenges but also function in practical ways. Join us on the journey of recycled textiles and see how circular economy principles are reshaping the textile industry! Cover Mat is available in our shops or directly from us for bulk quantities. Whether you need a single mat for a DIY project or a large supply for industrial use, we’ve got you covered. #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #TextileRecycling #TEXTILEHouse #CoverMat #TheJourneyofRecycledTextiles

♻️ The Journey of Recycled Textiles at TEXTILE House At TEXTILE house, we're dedicated to addressing global textile waste through sustainable recycling practices prioritizing resource conservation and waste reduction. ✔️ Our process starts with grading and sorting discarded textiles. Each item is evaluated for its best next life: reuse, recycling, or energy recovery (SRF). Approximately 20% of collected items undergo recycling, reducing textile waste and extending the lifecycle of fabrics. ✔️ For textiles designated for recycling, we sort by fiber composition, considering factors like the source of the fiber (natural, synthetic), fiber purity (higher: 90–100%, lower: 50–89%), and types of blends (containing e.g., polyester, nylon, spandex), as well as whether the fabric is woven or knitted. 🍃 Recycling textiles at scale brings significant environmental benefits, reducing waste and supporting resource conservation. By lowering the demand for virgin materials and reprocessing existing fabrics, EU recycling efforts help reduce CO₂ emissions by approximately 1.2 million tons per year*. Stay tuned as we continue to share the journey of recycled textiles at TEXTILE house! *Data from "Does Large-Scale Textile Recycling in Europe Reduce Climate Impact?" by the Swedish Environmental Research Institute (2023). #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #TextileRecycling #TEXTILEhouse #TheJourneyofRecycledTextiles

🌍 TEXTILE House is Driving Sustainability in Fashion At TEXTILE House, sustainability is at the heart of what we do. This year alone, we aim to process nearly 30,000 tons of discarded textiles with 77% going towards reuse, around 20% will be recycled, and about 3% can't be recovered for reuse or recycling, therefore will be used as Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF). We're committed to reducing textile waste and making the fashion industry more eco-conscious. If you're passionate about sustainable fashion, check out this insightful article from FashionUnited about our process and join us in sorting for a greener future.
