END-OF-LIFE TEXTILES

REUSABLE TEXTILES

• clean and dry clothing, footwear and household textiles in good enough condition to be sold

TEXTILES SUITABLE FOR RECYCLED FIBRE PRODUCTION

• clothing and household textiles that are in poor condition/broken, but clean and dry

Sort into mixed waste: underwear, socks and tights as well as smelly textiles.

How to recycle?

Deliver reusable textiles and textiles suitable for recycled fibre production to the collection point in the same plastic bag. See the collection points for end-of-life textiles at ekokymppi.fi/palvelut
Clothing, shoes and household textiles that are in good enough condition to be sold can also be delivered to a UFF collection bin. They can be found at Rinki eco take-back points.

What’s the outcome?

Textiles in good condition will be sorted for sale and textiles suitable for recycled fibre production will be processed into recycled fibre. The recycled fibre is used to manufacture yarn, insulation, acoustic panels, filter cloth and composites.
