textile recovery Austria

...In Austria, the volume of used clothing is about 80,000 tons per year. Trends change quickly, and fashion chains are constantly launching new collections. As a result, new items are purchased quite frequently. Currently, this amounts to around 28 kg per person per year. Clothing is also sorted out just as quickly. The textile recycling industry ensures a meaningful and resource-efficient use. A study by BSVE from 2008 has shown that the recovery rate is around 90%.
