• to strengthen the economic opportunities for all our members by promoting all forms of textile recycling and the second hand clothing/shoe recycling industry.
• to highlight the major environmental, social and economic benefits that the industry brings both here in the UK and in other parts of the world.
• to promote best practice in the industry.
