WRAP: Increasing costs of textile disposal could fall on charities and consumers

A new report by the NGO, Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP), has warned that if the used textile disposal sector collapses, charities, local authorities and consumers could be subject to subsequent rising costs. This is particularly urgent as collectors and sorters are increasingly unable to make money on reusable items, with fewer being desirable to the secondhand market, WRAP said.
