What happens to the items of clothing, household textiles and paired shoes after All-Tex Recyclers collect them?
All-Tex Recyclers believe first and foremost that the optimum solution is to re-use those clothes somewhere in the world for re-wear but, if their condition is not suitable, then they will be directed to the specialised re-spinning and pulling mills in the North of England, Asia and East Africa for recycling or sold on to local businesses for industrial wiper cloth manufacture.

Pursuing recycling and more efficient resource use could lead to a UK industry with net exports of more than £20bn and 10,000 new jobs in the recycling sector by 2020, according to a new report.
Businesses outside the sector could also reduce their costs by £50bn a year on savings in raw materials and energy, says the report, Going for Growth, published on Tuesday by the Environmental Services Association (ESA) and the government-funded Waste and Resources Action Programme (Wrap). If activities such as the research and development of new design techniques, that would minimise the need for recycling, and better ways to reuse materials are included, the opportunity could be for 50,000 new jobs and a £3bn boost to the UK's annual GDP. The findings reflect the potential opened up by a "circular economy" – one in which used material is not regarded as waste but as a resource, to be reused first, as that is the most efficient option, then recycled as necessary.
