Save on energy: Top 10 EU countries for recycling clothes

摘要

In January 2021, Europe's worst offenders for burning and binning clothes were revealed. Since then, saveonenergy.com/uk found one of the positive effects of the current pandemic is a change in attitude toward old textiles and how to recycle clothes. The company is now organizing closets with care and in an environmentally friendly way. Rather than "burning and binning" the company turns to recycling centers to dispose of old clothes. UK-based End of Tenancy Cleaning Services reported a 500% surge in Google searches like "when will recycling centers open" after many shut downs due to Covid-19. Google searches like "Clothes Recycling" are currently highest in Ireland. This is followed by high search results in Germany and the Netherlands. At the other end of the scale there are countries like Luxembourg, Slovenia and Slovakia. In Luxembourg just 330 people a month search keywords like "Clothes Recycling".
