On an average week LMB
now collects 170 to 200 tons of textiles, clothing and shoes. 80 per cent will
be sorted and exported for re-use, 10 per cent that isn't fit for re-use will
be cut into wiping cloths, 5 per cent will be sent for flocking and felting,
leaving a minimal 5 per cent waste, incorporating household rubbish, hangers
and single shoes.
