Material Recycling of Textiles

To ensure high quality in our material recycling process, we have clear requirements and guidelines regarding what can and cannot be recycled.

We accept most types of textiles; however, not all textiles can currently be recycled at our facility. At our plant, we work with textiles that are suitable for being converted into new fibres, which can then be reused.

We are continuously developing solutions for textiles that cannot yet be material‑recycled today.

What We Currently Recycle:

  • Used clothing, including sweaters and T‑shirts

  • Lightweight workwear

  • Bed linen

  • Towels

  • Tablecloths

  • Wool

  • Jeans

  • Down duvets and pillows

  • Textiles contaminated with paint or oil

  • Shoes, bags, belts, carpets, or upholstered items (such as furniture cushions)

  • Other waste, including residual waste, hazardous waste, or WEEE (electrical and electronic waste)
