Why Recycle Used Clothes?

Used clothes and textiles are not a waste. We need to recycle them and keep them out of landfills. Selling used clothes is one of the eco-friendly businesses that specialize in this. There are many responsible used clothes recycling organizations, aiming to promote sustainability and reduce the environmental impact of landfill waste.

The following are some of the benefits of recycling used clothes and textiles.

1. Reduce cost: Recycled textiles can be used in production instead of new one. This will reduce the cost incurred on the raw materials, thus saving money for the end users as well.

2.Help those in need: Recycled textiles can be used in many charitable causes.

3.Environment-friendly: Recycling used clothes and textiles will save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to disposing them in the landfill.

4.Create jobs: Recycling used clothes and textiles can create jobs by employing the already unemployed people who have handloom skills and thereby help out poor families financially.

5.Reduces costly consumerism: This can be used as a strategy to reduce the amount of used clothes and textiles that are disposed in landfills.

Our textile balers range from small to large sizes, both horizontal balers and vertical balers, which can meet different kinds of baling purposes.

Get to know which is the best baler perfect for your organization's operations. Usually, it depends on the volume of the textile materials that need to be baled, the final estimated bale weight, and whether need wrapping or not. Your space for the baler installation and operation also needs to be considered.

Recommended Industrial Vertical Balers for Textile Recycling

If wrapping is not a requirement, then vertical balers such as our versatile mini balers (VMN series) and cardboard balers (VMS series) would be perfect for the task. Mini Baler is a small baler quite suitable for businesses who have limited space for operation and low processing volume.

For mid-sized volume or if you are looking for mill sized bales, cardboard baler would be your choice. We have 5 models available in this series with different chamber sizes and compressing force, making different bale sizes.
