The Region of Murcia has experienced one of the biggest increases in used clothing collection in Spain over the past five years, according to a new report. The study was published on Sunday by Moda re-, the eco-social textile recycling project run by Cáritas.
Despite this growth, the region still recovers only 12.6% of the total textile waste it generates. The report analyses the current situation and recent evolution of textile recycling, highlighting significant room for improvement.
Moda re- works to promote textile reuse and recycling while supporting social inclusion projects linked to Cáritas. The findings show that, although collection rates are rising, a large proportion of discarded clothing in Murcia is still not being properly recycled.
