Infrastructure Vic report: textile waste is more than double the tonnes generated than e-waste and tyres COMBINED. Textile material recovery is virtually zero. Government focus on resource recovery must incorporate textiles, delivering jobs, economic value and CO2 emissions reduction.
Victorian Greens Ellen Sandell Why are clothing and textiles not referenced? This govt. report highlights the disregard for the 190,000t/y sent to landfill. Textile waste is more than 2x e-waste and tyres COMBINED which have 80% recovery rates. Polyester is a plastic the same as a coke bottle!
