What Happens to the Textiles      
       
Textiles are sorted into about 40 different types, graded according to quality and then baled at the factory in Denny, Central Scotland for reuse or recycling.  Good quality textiles are exported to parts of Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe, providing good quality affordable second hand clothing.  Poor quality textiles are shredded and used as mattress fillers and industrial wiping cloths e.g. for oil and printing industries.
