These textiles are sent to 14 sorting centers, to find out different types according to their condition and quality: Textiles that can be used as they are are resold at low prices in the 73 Ding Fring boutiques of the Relais or intended for export. Textiles that can no longer be worn are recycled by the Relais as part of the production of wiping cloths for industry, or for the manufacture of materials from which Métisse® insulation is made in particular. Non-recovered material represents 3% of the volumes collected, most of which will be used for energy recovery. To find out more about the textiles circuit at the Relais, click here. At the Relais, every cent generated is reinvested in the fight against exclusion. By developing the textile activity and taking charge of the entire industry - collection, sorting, recovery - the Relais creates sustainable jobs for people in difficulty. In 30 years, more than 2,200 jobs have been created in this way. At the same time, the Relais has become a leader in the sector in France, demonstrating that professionalism and solidarity are perfectly compatible. Le Relais in video Zoom on...
