Start A Textile Recycling Business

Textile recycling involves the process of material recovery and reuse of old fabric from clothes or upholsteries. The recycled material is then processed to form useful products.

Textile waste can be classified into post-consumer waste and post-industry waste. The post-consumer wastes are those unneeded materials discarded from households, while post-industry wastes are generated as byproducts of apparel or home furnishing industries.

To start a textile recycling business, you will need to factor in the space required: You can rent or lease enough space for clothing intake and sorting. Also, to ensure enough supply of unwanted textiles, you can introduce textile drop-boxes and put them strategically in your neighborhood.

Register your business and apply for the license and permits.
