Project Abstract
The project will involve a controlled pilot programme comparing different textile collection systems, supported by a communications campaign. The findings of this programme will be modelled to determine the scaled up impact of the different systems. The potential for new or expanded local reuse or recycling options to absorb additional textiles will also be explored and modelled to better understand how Ireland can provide scaled up capacity for a closed loop on used textiles. Two of the more promising options will be supported for further development.
