Old textiles. The clothing or dress is determined by the general term of Old Textiles, as well anything that covers or cloaks the body.

So-called Ragman supplied the paper mills with textile raw materials and a flourishing trade in used clothing spread. In the 19th century a process for the production of shoddy wool was invented, and therefore the old clothes could be reused to produce new fabrics. In World War 2 it was Old textiles to rely on for replacing missing primary commodities. After the end of the war, there were virtually no more usable old textiles in Germany. Since the 60s, there are more and more old clothes, because new clothes has become cheaper relative to income and therefore don't be used for so long time as it was in the past. But old clothes still remain an important raw material, which should be used rational to benefit humans and the environment. We, by DTRW, have made this our profession.
