Textile Recycling Association

We are the UK’s trade association for collectors, sorters, processors and exporters of used clothing and textiles. The main objectives of this Association are: • to represent the interests of its members internationally, nationally and locally. • to be a major force in creating a favourable climate within which merchants can operate to advantage. • to strengthen the economic opportunities for all our members by promoting all forms of textile recycling and the second hand clothing/shoe recycling industry. • to highlight the major environmental, social and economic benefits that the industry brings both here in the UK and in other parts of the world. • to promote best practice in the industry. Our members are collectors, graders and processors of used clothing, textiles and shoes and they operate throughout the United Kingdom.
