Full clothes thrown in the garbage – Swedish Dagbladet

The Swedish Environmental Emissions Data (SMED) made the Environmental Protection Agency commissioned sample surveys in seven municipalities in October 2015. Clothing, footwear, bedding, towels and other textiles sorted out a number of loads of waste.

“This study shows that there is potential to reuse significant portions of it that are thrown into the unsorted household waste. There is also a large proportion of the textile made of pure cotton, which could go to recycling instead of going to the combustion, “says Yvonne Augustsson, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, in a statement.
