Wastesavers<br />
Millions of garments, clothes, shoes,<br />
handbags and household textiles are<br />
discarded every year.<br />
By recycling your unwanted clothes,<br />
shoes and textiles through a clothes<br />
bank or charity shop you are reducing<br />
landfill, donating <strong>to</strong> local charities and<br />
supporting a huge recycled clothing<br />
industry in countries where the vast<br />
majority of the citizens cannot afford<br />
new clothes.<br />
Nathan's export hundreds of <strong>to</strong>nnes of<br />
good quality clothing <strong>to</strong> Africa, Asia<br />
and the developing world every week.<br />

*Saving water saves energy because<br />
power is used <strong>to</strong> process water <strong>to</strong><br />
drinking quality standard and even more<br />
power is used <strong>to</strong> move it <strong>to</strong> where it’s<br />
needed. For ways <strong>to</strong> save water visit<br />

good quality second-hand clothing.<br />
Material not suitable for reuse is<br />
recycled as furniture and mattress<br />
filling and a range of industrial<br />
wiping cloths.<br />
