New in Essen: Doorstep Collection of Used Textiles
Essen, Germany - Looper Textile Co. in cooperation with REMONDIS Recycling GmbH & Co. KG (REMONDIS), Entsorgungsbetriebe Essen GmbH (EBE), and Diakonie Essen's NEUE ARBEIT der Diakonie Essen arbeitshilfe- und berufsförderungsgemeinnützige GmbH (NEUE ARBEIT), introduce the collection of used and unwanted textiles directly from households in Essen, DE.
A Climate-Neutral Initiative with Strong Partners
The respective parties act as follows: REMONDIS Recycling International is responsible for the collection. EBE and NEUE ARBEIT are jointly deployed as operational collectors to provide the necessary vehicles and drivers. Door-to-door collection is carried out using purely electric vans and is therefore climate-neutral.
Looper Textile Co. assumes responsibility for sorting the collected textiles in accordance with the EU waste hierarchy at its contracted sorting facility in Polch, Germany. In this sorting plant, the textiles are sorted into around 200 product groups and are thus given a “second life.”
NEUE ARBEIT pre-sorts large parts of the used textiles and sells them in social department stores in Essen. In this way, the collected textiles remain in Essen and are given a “second life” here too.
NEUE ARBEIT runs five social department stores in Essen
NEUE ARBEIT has five social department stores in Essen. Here, donations are resold at a fair price after careful examination. Other materials are reprocessed into unique products in the NEUE ARBEIT workshops. The organization also supports the reintegration of long-term unemployed individuals into the workforce through roles in logistics and retail at the Diakonie stores.
