Textile Fiber Trends In Europe And America

In the past few decades, there are more and more waste textiles in the United States and Western Europe, mainly due to the fact that many garments or other fabrics have been disposed of as garbage after being used for a single time.

Only a few foresight have realized that textile fiber waste or waste clothing is far from garbage.

It is said that the earliest Warner brothers or other Hollywood tycoons are from

Europe

When emigrating to the United States, the first barrel of gold was obtained by picking up rags.

25 years ago, the world's textile industry gradually realized that textile fiber wastes could actually become the second raw material resources.

In the 90s of last century, a number of textile media reporters visited a textile waste recycling company in Spain. They found that the company had to recycle 200 tons of textile fiber waste every day. They even used money to buy textile fiber waste from all European countries, and also purchased from countries outside Europe.

After World War II, the international recycling industry is in the ascendant. People realize that an international organization is needed to support the development of the recycling industry. In 1948, the Bureau of International Recycling (BIR) was established.

Initially, it is a non-profit organization whose headquarters is located in Brussels, Belgium. Its main purpose is to improve the interests of the global recycling sector.

Subsequently, they provide information, legal texts and latest technology, and waste utilization to all recycling markets and institutions in the world.

And the utilization of waste textiles.

The organization takes this affair as its responsibility and contributes to the sustained development and prosperity of the world industry.

20 years later, textile waste collection has become a very independent industry.

Textile fiber waste recycling is almost everywhere.

BIR experts predict that if all textile fiber waste is recycled, then at least half of it is recycled.

It can be reused.

Nowadays, the sustainability of textile industry has become the key to development.

BIR calculates that if 60 million people in the UK buy clothes made of recycled waste every year, then the whole UK can save 1600000000L of water every year and use 480t chemical dye less. This figure is shocking.

But in fact, about 50% of recycled textiles or second-hand textiles in developed countries have gone to less developed countries.

In many African countries, over 80% of the population wears second-hand clothing.

More than half of the Western waste clothing is donated or illegally exported to less developed countries.

Nowadays, textile waste recycling companies in Western Europe and the United States are mushrooming. Among them, BIR has several textile fiber waste recycling enterprises, and they participate in the competition of textile recycling worldwide.

To this end, textile fiber waste recycling prices are also increasing.

In the United States, the price of second-hand textile fiber waste has risen by 10%~25%.

What is worrying is that, under the big trend of textile waste recycling, some Western companies are taking the "charitable", "donation" flag to make cheap acquisitions.

A textile recycling company in the United Kingdom has used the illegal means to participate in the market competition in order to recover the waste textiles.

Britain's national anti fraud Bureau has also begun a nationwide investigation. They want to know how many textile waste recycling enterprises are making profits under the banner of "charity".

In France, textile recycling companies are stealing and robbing each other in parallel.

The recycling of waste textile fibers has developed from non-profit to today's profiteering industry. Therefore, more and more enterprises are involved, and there are various ways of recycling.

Textile recycling has not only become

business

Economic activities and environmental intimate eco industries, it is most warmly praised.

The BIR institution conducted a study at University of Copenhagen in Sweden in 2008. It concluded that every time 1kg waste textiles were used, 3.6kg emissions could be reduced, 6000L saved, and 0.3KG fertilizer and 0.2kg pesticides reduced.

The textile industry has reclaimed large quantities of waste textiles. This trend has significantly reduced carbon dioxide emissions compared with the processing of raw materials.

Therefore, BIR calls on people not to waste waste textile fibers, and now it has become the real value of sustainable development. Recycling or recycling waste textiles is most conducive to the environment that our children and grandchildren need.
