Textile Recycling Industry

At The Bra Recyclers, we're committed to sustainable practices that benefit the environment and communities. Our partnerships with recycling companies play a pivotal role in realizing this commitment.

By collaborating with recycling companies that either currently include textiles in their recycling or aspire to, we provide a valuable solution for recycling companies and their customers. Through our partnership, we offer an avenue for recycling bras and new underwear, items that standard recycling programs might otherwise reject.

Recycling companies only manage to recycle around 15% of used textiles globally, with up to half of that amount being shipped overseas, where the materials often end up in landfills due to less advanced waste management systems.

The Bra Recyclers wants to partner with you to reduce the amount of usable items going to landfill.

Changing Laws in
Textile Waste

Governments worldwide are implementing new laws to reduce textile waste in landfills and promote sustainable practices in the industry due to growing environmental concerns. The pressure is on.

Proposals for textile waste management include mandating recycling, setting waste limits for manufacturers, and stricter labeling to inform consumers of the environmental impact of their purchases.

Textile waste laws are changing for the better. The shift is toward a more sustainable future. Despite challenges, these regulations are an essential step towards lessening the impact of textile waste on the planet. The Bra Recyclers are delighted to support the textile industry with this necessary need.
