Textiles are defined as types of cloth or fabric, especially ones that have been woven[1].

Overview

Clothes and Textiles that are in good condition can be donated and sold for reuse. Items that aren’t suitable to be passed onto someone else can be recycled and made into new items, such as padding for chairs and car seats, cleaning cloths and industrial blankets[2]. Whilst Carpets are included in this category in WikiWaste, the options for reuse and recycling are still relatively limited in number in the UK. ‌

Macro Tonnage

The most recent information published by DEFRA [3] is summarized in the pie chart below, with 175,526 tonnes of textiles generated in the UK in 2016 and is part of the broader tonnage summarized in UK Waste Tonnage:
