Textiles scene expecting rough wetter
the global textiles recycling industry is suffering from a combination of high sup-
ply, falling quality and payment issues among some customers, according to
Martin Böschen of switzerland-based tEXaID textilverwertungs aG.
‘We also need to find better recycling
solutions for what we can’t reuse,’ he
told the BIR conference in Budapest.
‘With a recession on the doorstep, we
are not foreseeing any short-term
improvement and are expecting a
continuing difficult situation for the
textiles recycling industry for the next
couple of months, which could also
lead to financial problems for some
market participants,’ Bösschen said.
Reporting for Italy, Sauro Ballerini
warned that low-quality “fast fashion”
from China has the potential to offer
competition for used clothing in all
markets. Meanwhile, there has been
steady demand of late on France’s
used clothing market as well as con-
sistent export orders, according to
Mehdi Zerroug of Framimex.
collecTion conTainers
In anticipation of the European directive
calling for totally separate collection of
textiles by 2025, Belgian authorities are
already pushing the public to put all
kinds of textiles into collection contain-
ers – even material which goes directly
for incineration. ‘This means that the
quality of our originals is going down,
and we will have a larger quantity of
material for incineration, which will put
a big pressure on the margins of the
sorting companies,’ lamented Pol
T’Jollyn of Recutex NV.
Russian restrictions
a warning to others
Having imposed quotas for the final
four months of 2019, he said, the
Russian government is proposing that
all export sales business should be
listed on a metal exchange platform
from 1 April 2020 for greater transpar-
ency. The main problems with such an
exchange, he argued, are that ‘scrap
is bought, not sold’ and that commer-
cial confidentiality is destroyed.
