Textiles sector faces 'severe market failure'

摘要

The viability of textile collections under current market conditions is on a knife edge and the UK may need to follow policies of other countries, according to the Textile Recycling Association. Director Alan Wheeler has warned of the danger of "severe market failure" across the used clothing and textile recycling sector. He told MRW that values for used clothing grades were continuing to decline, with charity shop quality garments at half the price they were three years ago.
