Singapore sends 70 tonnes of unwanted clothes to Malaysia to recycle

Singapore sends up to seventy tonnes of clothing weekly to Malaysia for recycling. This cross-border initiative gives discarded garments a second life through reuse and repurposing. The volume has doubled in two years, highlighting the growing scale of textile waste management. At the Malaysian facility, clothes are sorted for resale or material recovery. This partnership aims to keep textiles in circulation and reduce landfill disposal.
