All-Tex Recyclers believe first and foremost that the optimum solution is to re-use those clothes somewhere in the world for re-wear but, if their condition is not suitable, then they will be directed to the specialised re-spinning and pulling mills in the North of England, Asia and East Africa for recycling or sold on to local businesses for industrial wiper cloth manufacture. We are pro-active in seeking new markets for all our recyclables. When a bag of used clothing and shoes is opened by one of the experienced clothing graders at All-Tex Recyclers they will make individual determinations on each item in the bag.
