BlockTexx facility in Queensland diverts textiles from landfill

emmasolomano

From Creat Digital: "At a new facility in South East Queensland, innovative textile recovery processes will help reduce landfill pileup by turning worn-out fabric into raw materials."


"Australians are the world’s second-largest consumers of new textiles, behind the United States. Many of these goods end up in landfill, with the Australasian Circular Textile Association estimating nearly one million tonnes of leather and textiles are sent to landfill in Australia each year, with the average Australian contributing close to 40 kilograms of waste."
