Deutsche Textilrecycling-Werke

What happens to your old clothes?

1. The reusable clothes (46%) are being remarketed by us in Germany, the near abroad and in the third world.
2. The textile raw materials (25%) are used to manufacture new products for industrial purposes.
3. Cleaning rags (17%)
4. The textile wastes (10%) are being prepared by us for thermal recycling and delivered to the cement industry.
5. Vulnerable people of different origins and backgrounds are supported (homeless, pensioners, social assistance recipients, etc.) (2 %) In most areas of the recycling industry the costs are being passed increasingly on the polluter or manufacturer. This does not happens in the textile recycling. Mostly the medium-sized companies in our industry finance paid disposal of waste materials and the high technical standards from income raised through marketing of old clothes.
