For example, we collect twenty-five tons of textiles every week with three hundred bins \u2013 a lot of clothes.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We transport this material as freight to certified sorting companies both at home and abroad \u2013 only companies that work transparently. We visit them every year so that we remain well informed of what happens to the material we supply. This way we can continue to communicate openly about the <\/span>full cycle<\/span><\/i> of our textile collection.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> We wouldn't be doing this work if our hearts weren't in the right place. It feels good to contribute to a more environmentally conscious world. Good material is reused through textile collection. We prevent unnecessary emissions, water and energy consumption and waste incineration. Some of the used clothing is transformed into new yarn, completing the circle.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n A circular economy is the future; we are working on this in all areas. Our drivers come from the <\/span>social return<\/span><\/i>: we give people who are at a distance from the labor market a second chance to participate in society. We do this with love, because the enthusiasm we get in return is fantastic!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> What we do is not new. T<\/span>textile collection <\/span>has been around for years. Recently, however, more and more attention has been paid to this. Of course we move with the times, but the core of our work remains the same: we collect <\/span>clothing <\/span>and give them a second chance. We arrange everything we do well. That is our promise.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> euro 6-<\/span>Sprinter buses<\/span>;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li> employees from the social return;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li> modern navigation systems that calculate the most efficient routes;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li> sorting companies that work transparently;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li> responding to changes such as UPV Textiel;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li> open communication about our craftsmanship.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-659","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Textile professionals<\/span><\/span><\/h2><\/div>
