Fashion brands launch textile recycling pilot in Spain
The initiative aims to create an efficient system to collect and sort used clothes ahead of new EPR regulations.
Fashion brands including Inditex, Mango, H&M and Primark are participating in a pilot to collect, sort and recycle used garments in Spain, in preparation for upcoming regulatory requirements.
The pilot will see Spain’s Association for Textile and Shoe Waste Management (Asociación para la Gestión del Residuo Textil y el Calzado) install garment and shoe collection points in two cities, two smaller towns and two villages across the country, covering a total population of around 300,000 people.
