We’re drowning in unwanted clothes and change is finally coming.
Zurich plans to recycle all used textiles locally by 2027, even damaged ones, instead of shipping them abroad.
Basel and Bern may follow suit. In St. Margrethen, collection firm Tell-Tex wants to build the country’s first big textile recycling plant, but funding’s still up in the air.
Meanwhile, the Fabric Loop project proposes adding a small recycling fee to every new garment, like with PET bottles.
And in Parliament, the Greens are pushing laws to curb fast fashion and make clothes last longer.
