Big benefits of the award
Reuse, recovery and recycling provide important environmental benefits.
Textile recovery reduces the need for landfill space. Textiles present particular problems in landfill as synthetic (man-made fibres) products will not decompose, while woollen garments do decompose and produce methane, which contributes to global warming. Reuse also reduces pressure on virgin resources. And less production means mess less pollution and more energy savings, as fibres do not have to be transported from abroad.
