Interesting textiles facts
- Making textiles from raw materials uses a lot of natural
resources.
Recycling textiles not only saves these resources, it also saves
a large amount of energy and water.
- Cotton
clothing is the most sought after for recycling. If cotton clothing
cannot be used again, it can be cut into smaller pieces and reused
as industrial wipers.
- Wool
and heavyweight clothing are the least sought after for recycling
because many countries that take America's recycled clothing are
too hot to make use of warmer clothes. Wool and heavy weight materials
are also not suitable for industrial wipers.
