The list is endless. Each item is checked by hand and those that are of sufficient quality are separated by garment and material type, baled together and exported to developing countries overseas. There, the clothes and shoes are distributed to local markets where stallholders sell the clothes to the surrounding communities.
Within the Channel Islands there is a new mandate and recycling innovation with regards to the recycling of household waste, textile and other recycling products.
It is not yet determined how many tonnes of recyclable textiles ended up in the incinerator in the Channel Islands, Parisma Export is hoping to remove textile waste away from landfill while ensuring a more environmentally friendly future for old sheets, shoes, used clothes, house hold rummage, towels and other textiles.
