As the UKFT launches it’s vision for a textile recycling hub in the UK, it reminds us how important it is for businesses recycling textiles on a smaller level to have the correct equipment to harness an optimum level of productivity and efficiency.
We offer a wide variety of single shaft shredders, granulators, pelletizers and balers, to create both a cost and time efficient set-up for your business.
By choosing used machinery as against new, our customers are carrying on the recycling chain which has environmental benefits, as well as financial. Depending on the age and condition, our machinery can be upto 70% cheaper than buying new, which for many of our customers frees up much needed capital for use elsewhere.
Textile recycling has featured heavily in the news this week, with those interviewed highlighting the importance of using recycling end products to create new garments, especially in the creation of fast fashion and school uniforms, which have an extremely high disposal rate.
There are also considerable economic benefits including:
- Reduced landfill waste: Over 300,000 tonnes of clothing end up in UK landfills every year. Recycling textiles helps divert waste from these already overcrowded sites.
- Saving resources: Producing new textiles requires huge amounts of water, energy, and raw materials. For example, it takes about 2,700 litres of water to make one cotton T-shirt. Recycling cuts down on this demand.
- Lowering carbon emissions: Textile production and disposal generate significant greenhouse gases. Reusing and recycling fabrics reduces emissions associated with manufacturing and incineration.
If you’d like expert advice on which machinery can help benefit and grow your business, please get in touch and we will be happy to help.
