In this episode we explore the process of turning unwanted garments into useful new products. After clothing is collected and sorted, items that cannot be reused are sent for recycling. Fabrics may be shredded into fibers to create products such as insulation, stuffing, or cleaning cloths, while some materials can be processed into new yarn and made into fresh clothing. This episode shows how clothing recycling helps reduce landfill waste, save resources, and support a more sustainable fashion future.

This episode of Recycled Content, is the 'Rubbish Process' from episode 39 of Talking Rubbish, which first aired on 24th April 2025.

While every effort has been made to provide the most accurate information, recycling guidance changes quickly and some advice may become outdated over time. Always check with your local council for the rules that apply to recycling in your area. On the main Talking Rubbish podcast, we include an additions and corrections section where we update anything we may have got wrong.
