The country does not have enough infrastructure or facilities to support a large-scale recycling industry, some companies said.
SINGAPORE: Singapore might be seeing growing interest in recycling, but companies say the country does not have enough infrastructure or facilities to support a large-scale recycling industry.Online thrift store Refash creates a secondary market for used clothes, by buying old clothing from customers and reselling them to give these unwanted textiles a second chance.
“So we get clothes that are torn, there are defective pieces and very visible stains. But this is part and parcel of operating a business like ours.” “We are also talking about prominent fashion retailers that we can work with, and provide them with that additional sales channel to own that ecosystem, and to get more of their customers to transact secondhand pieces on their own,” said Mr Sng.Malaysian-based recycler Life Line Clothing partners with local textile recycling company Cloop to collect unwanted textiles.
“So the economies of scale dealing with it after it has been manufactured is not the same as when it's in a virgin material. So the challenge is to be able to get volume as well. You won't be effective recycling unless you have a lot of it.”'Normalise re-wearing clothes': Experts urge consumers to reduce impact of fashion on environment
