24-11-2014
The Foundation launches this campaign to promote recycling and reusing textiles, on the eve of the European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR) and the National Congress on Environment CONAMA.

The purpose is to achieve maximum impact and thereby promote greater awareness of the positive impact on the environment that has the textile recycling.

CONAMA be held from 24 to 27 November at the Palacio Municipal de Congresos in Madrid. This is the event dedicated to the environment, in which Humana will be exhibiting (stand 45, third floor).
Recycling and reusing
It is estimated that a person buys approximately 16 kg of clothes and a significant percentage is used rarely ... until his life ends up in the trash or in a container, textile waste, in the best case. Of all the items that the Spaniards discarded each year, only one in five is placed in a container or textile waste is delivered to a specialized recycling organization.
A high percentage of the clothes that no longer serves us can be used again, reducing the volume of waste. Because, if the clothing is already produced, why destroy it and produce it again?
Reuse and recycling help save natural resources and energy that would be used to produce new garments. Is estimated to produce one kilo of cotton supposed 6,000 liters of water, the emission of CO2 and 3.6 kg 0.6 kg The use of fertilizers and pesticides 0.3 kg. The clothing is collected annually in each container Humana going to stop a landfill and therefore being incinerated, would produce 10 tons of CO2.
