SATCoL sorts textiles for recycling
The Salvation Army Trading Company (SATCoL) is capturing unwearable clothing and textiles and sorting these by fibre type, fibre blend and colour using its fibre-sort machinery. Once sorted, these items will become valuable raw material for textile recyclers. SATCoL obtained funding for the fibre-sort machinery through DEFRA’s Resource Action Fund (RAF), which was administered by WRAP.
