Merchants told Letsrecycle.com that the volume of unusable textile waste is likely much higher than being reported, which means that this figure could be an underestimate.<\/p>\n<p>While the issue is currently contained to rural areas, it could be indicative of a looming problem for the second-hand textiles sector that may lead to the closure of many more collector merchants \u2013 making it less likely for charity shops in all areas to be reached. The sector has cautioned that the loss of significant infrastructure might have impacts on the ability to establish a circular textile industry in the future.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, geopolitical factors have also hit the industry. Ukraine was formerly a market for many of the higher value used textiles coming from the UK. The Red Sea Crisis has also said to have caused shipping delays, and many exporters have needed to reroute around the Cape of Good Hope at the bottom of Africa.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.letsrecycle.com\/news\/incineration-of-textiles-could-cost-uk-economy-200m\/\">Let&#8217;s Recycle<\/a><\/p>\n<p><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-663\/\">Incineration of textiles \u2018could cost UK economy \u00a3200m\u2019<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","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":[575,7708,5587,579],"class_list":["post-137259","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-incineration","tag-textiles","tag-uk"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137259","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137259"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137259\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137259"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137259"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137259"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
