"Green" recycling in San Francisco

The Champions of the "green" movement in San Francisco believe that old clothes – it is very dangerous for the environment thing. To minimize the "textile" risks to the environment, they suggested to set the houses separate containers specifically for textiles.

The fact that textile products are very heavily processed and every month in landfills in large cities get tons of this material. The complexity of the processing of textiles due to the fact that the fabric is made up of numerous heterogeneous, including synthetic materials.





To save the ecology of cities, "green" initiated the project on delivery of the old textile. The essence of the project is that each house in San Francisco will trash container, used exclusively for clothing. Obtained in the course of textile products will be accessible for redistribution.

Clothes collected will be divided into 2 parts: something dispose, but something on the secondary market in "second-hand". Such a policy will relieve pressure on landfills and to send another, very valuable material for proper processing.



Project collection of textile products has received the name of Goodwill. The project will use wooden containers with lid with special lock. When the lid is open, the hole for the Luggage resembles the smile of a man. In addition, at each of the containers will be placed the QR code, scanning which with the help of mobile devices, everyone will have access to the official program website, where you can see its details and learn how you can still help the planet.

It should be noted that the containers Goodwill will be the first most high-tech bins for waste collection. The fact is that under the cover of each tank will be installed a special sensor that signal in the center of the collection of textiles that the container is fully loaded. Thus, the recycling containers Goodwill will never be overloaded.
