Container for Collecting Clothing and Old Clothes for Textile Recycling

The recycling of used clothing is becoming a priority in the current context of environmental protection and sustainable resource management. According to new European and national regulations, Romanians will be obliged to collect and recycle old clothes starting from 2025. To meet this need, our company presents the Used Clothing Collection Container, a simple solution that can address this challenge.

Features

The container is designed with optimal dimensions for street placement: height 2100 mm, length 1090 mm, and width 1120 mm. With a maximum capacity of 2512 liters and a usable capacity of 1653 liters, it can handle a considerable volume of used clothing, reducing the frequency of emptying and streamlining the collection process.

Dimensions without feet: 1090 x 1120 x 2100 mm Ground clearance: 100 mm, ensuring stability and accessibility Nominal load: 430 kg, guaranteeing strength and durability

Robust and Durable Construction

The container is made of galvanized steel sheet, with increased resistance to corrosion and weather conditions, thickness of 1.00 mm, cold-rolled. The joints are made by welding in a protected environment, ensuring a solid and reliable structure in the long term. The edges near the door have a width of 60 mm, providing extra safety and preventing deformations caused by wear.

The feet are equipped with a base and are made of rectangular pipe of 40 x 20 mm and 40 x 40 mm, offering stability and facilitating placement on different types of surfaces.

Anti-Theft Safety System

A distinctive feature of this container is the locking system against interior theft. It operates through a simple mechanism: while the outer door opens to allow the introduction of clothing, a second inner door closes automatically, preventing unauthorized access to the container's contents. Once the outer door is closed, the inner one opens, allowing items to fall inside. This system prevents theft and vandalism, ensuring the integrity of the collected clothing.

The container is powder-coated, using colors from the RAL palette, allowing customization of the appearance according to the client's preferences or the aesthetic requirements of the placement area.

Legislative Context and Importance of Textile Recycling

According to the official website of the European Union, in a 2023 news release, "Circular Economy for Textiles: Taking Responsibility for Reducing, Reusing, and Recycling Textile Waste & Stimulating Markets for Used Textiles," the Commission proposes introducing regulations for the implementation by member states of the requirement for separate collection of textiles starting from 2025. Thus, Romania is also set to harmonize its internal legislation with European directives on managing textile waste. These measures aim to reduce the negative impact on the environment and promote a circular economy.

Recycling old clothes contributes to:

• Reducing Pollution: The textile industry is responsible for a significant amount of greenhouse gas emissions and water pollution.
• Saving Resources: Recycling textile materials reduces the need for new fiber production, saving water and energy.
• Reducing Waste: Used clothing represents a considerable percentage of solid waste deposited in landfills.

Community and Social Benefits

Implementing containers for collecting used clothing facilitates community involvement in the recycling process. Through the accessibility and ease of use of the containers, citizens are encouraged to actively contribute to environmental protection.

Additionally, some collected clothing items can be redistributed to charitable organizations or disadvantaged individuals, promoting social solidarity and reducing inequalities.

We work closely with local authorities, non-governmental organizations, and industry partners to ensure the success of textile recycling projects.
