Textileco

Textileco is a Czech project dedicated to the collection of unwanted clothing and its further ecological processing. It was established in 2012 on the basis of an agreement between selected processing companies and the Czech Red Cross (ČČK) concerning mutual humanitarian and financial assistance. Today the project is managed and fully overseen by the company CORETEX CZ SE. The project involves processing companies operating throughout the Czech Republic that have long been engaged in the maximally purposeful processing of used textiles and in making their collection as efficient as possible. Through Textileco and its partners, donating unwanted clothing into a collection container becomes a way of helping people in need who cannot afford to buy new clothes or any clothes at all. The stated aim of the project is therefore ecological, humanitarian and economic in nature. It combines textile recycling with charitable support, channelling collected used clothing toward both material recovery and assistance for those in need.

Textileco was created in 2012 through an agreement between selected processing companies and the Czech Red Cross (ČČK) on mutual humanitarian and financial assistance. The project was set up to collect unwanted clothing and ensure its further ecological processing, while also directing support to people in need. Over time the project came to be managed and fully overseen by the company CORETEX CZ SE. Processing companies active throughout the Czech Republic, long experienced in the purposeful processing of used textiles and in efficient collection, participate in the project. The collected clothing placed in containers thus serves both ecological recycling goals and humanitarian aid for those unable to afford new or any clothing.
