[[Category:Tonnage & Waste Types]]

[[Textiles]] are defined as types of cloth or fabric, especially ones that have been woven<ref>Collins 2019. [https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/textile Definition of textile. Collinsdictionary.com.] [online] [Accessed 5 Dec. 2019]</ref>. The macro tonnage of 'post-consumer textiles' reported by WRAP is 711,000 per year (and more recently 733,000 tonnes per year in a report referring to 2024 WRAP unpublished data<ref>https://ukft.org/act-uk-final-report/</ref>), but the most recent [[DEFRA]] statistics show only 139,445 tonnes of all textiles wastes<ref>https://www.wrap.ngo/take-action/uk-textiles-pact</ref>, the difference mainly due to the amount of textiles that remain in [[residual waste]]

== Macro Tonnage ==

The most recent information published by [[DEFRA]] <ref>[https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/env23-uk-waste-data-and-management UK Statistics on Waste 2020]</ref> is summarised in the pie chart below, with 139,445 tonnes of textiles generated in the UK in 2020 and is part of the broader tonnage summarized in [[UK Waste Tonnage]]:

[[File:Textiles.png|800px|frameless|centre|]]

The macro numbers above do not breakdown the component elements of textiles, and there is a significant tonnage of textiles believed to be in the residual waste stream, based on tonnage put on the market, that is going to [[incineration]] and [[landfill]].

== Overview ==

~~A textile is defined~~ as ~~type of cloth or fabric~~, ~~especially ones that have been woven~~<ref>~~Collins~~ 2019. [https://www.~~collinsdictionary~~.com/~~dictionary~~/~~english/textile Definition of textile~~. ~~Collinsdictionary~~.com.~~] [online]~~ [Accessed ~~5 Dec~~. 2019]</ref>.

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<ref>Recyclenow, 2019. [https://www.recyclenow.com/what-to-do-with/clothing-textiles-0 Clothing & textiles | Recycle Now. [online] Recyclenow.com. [Accessed 26 Oct. 2019].</ref>. Whilst [[Carpets]] are included in this category in WikiWaste, the options for reuse and recycling are still relatively limited in number in the UK.

Currently the UK does not have an [[Extended Producer Resonsibility]] for Textiles but the EU is implementing such a scheme from 2027.

==Categories==

The ~~most recent information published by [[DEFRA]] <ref>[https:~~/~~/www.gov.uk/government/statistics/digest-of-waste-~~and-resource-statistics-2018-edition Digest of Waste Resources 2018] reporting data from 2016</ref> <ref>[https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/uk-waste-data UK Statistics on Waste 2019] updating some of the 2018 Digest with 2017 data</ref>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]]:~~

The Textiles category/classifcation does not only include used clothing but also bedding, carpets and footwear, and these categories are reported by Local Authorities, the largest source of textiles reported by DEFRA being from households.

~~[[File:Textiles Pie Chart.png|frame|center|Textile Wastes - Tonnage Reported as Generated~~ by DEFRA ~~in 2016]]~~

The ~~macro numbers above do not breakdown the component elements of textiles, but the~~ following ~~textiles~~ headers ~~in the page are as handled~~ by local authorities ~~and as reported~~ through [[WasteDataFlow]] ~~(and included in this data are tonnages of carpets handled by local authorities)~~.

The following headers below only capture significant tonnage collected and reported by local authorities through [[WasteDataFlow]].
