Vila Real creates textile collection point for clothes recycling

As part of the project "Para cá do Marão, embalagens não!" the Vila Real City Hall inaugurated the first textile collection point in the county to recycle or reuse clothes.

The main goal is to reduce the impact of textiles deposited in landfills, which, according to the city council, constitute 4% of all the material delivered to it. In this way, the environmental impact caused by textile waste is mitigated while promoting the circular economy.

At the collection point it will be possible to discard, share or recycle clothes after consumption. An application will also be developed where the garments available for sharing will be placed.
