Retex Northwest would like to invite you to join the battle against waste, as well as improving the standard of living for people in poor countries. It’s easy to do! Just start recycling your cloths instead of throwing them out. Retex Northwest is a Pacific Northwest based business that began in 1998, working with solid waste management in King and Snohomish counties to put an end to the steady stream of clothing flowing into landfills... Despite the efforts of traditional second hand stores.
Textile recycling removes 2.5 billion pounds of post-consumer textiles from the United States solid waste stream each year. That’s material that provides clothing, as well as jobs to millions of people each year. Many recycled textiles are sold overseas, aiding to the U.S. balance of trade, as well as providing clothing and creating jobs in impoverished countries.
Retex Northwest wants to help put and end to such waste by providing a convenient means to recycle used clothing. Please look for our friendly green and silver bins located in the environmentally friendly merchants and retailers near you. Or call us at 425-742-8377 for a location near your neighborhood.
