More recycling firms are relying on reselling used clothes or exporting them instead. Online thrift store Refash creates a secondary market for used clothes, by buying old clothing from customers and reselling them to give these unwanted textiles a second chance. They are sorted based on factors such as style, type of material and their condition. During the peak months, it can receive up to 10,000 people dropping off their used clothes. During the off-peak period, the shop can see more than 5,000 sellers bringing their unwanted clothes down monthly.<\/p>\n<p>Malaysian-based recycler Life Line Clothing partners with local textile recycling company Cloop to collect unwanted textiles. Most of what they collect are then exported to Malaysia for sale, recycling or upcycling. That is partly because Singapore does not have enough supply and demand to justify high investments in effective recycling systems.<\/p>\n<p>While prospects for a robust textile recycling sector in Singapore may be uncertain, the Singapore Fashion Council said the country can still do its part without heavy investment in costly technology. It said education can play an important role in changing behaviours such as reducing over-consumption. Labelling requirements can also help streamline the recycling process.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.channelnewsasia.com\/singapore\/singapore-limited-textile-recycling-sector-drives-more-interest-resell-export-unwanted-clothes-3749811\">Channel News Asia<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/3-392\/\">Singapore\u2019s limited textile recycling sector drives more interest to resell, export unwanted clothes<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,764,1134,1297],"class_list":["post-116701","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-recycling","tag-singapore","tag-textile"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116701","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116701"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116701\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116701"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116701"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116701"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
