Textile Recycling Association

About

The Textile Recycling Association (TRA) is the UK-based trade association for collectors, sorters, processors and exporters of used clothing and textiles.

Established in 1913, the Association has the following main objectives:

To represent the interests of its members internationally, nationally and locally.
To be a major force in creating a favourable climate within which merchants can operate to advantage.
To strengthen the economic opportunities for all our members by promoting all forms of textile recycling and the second-hand clothing/shoe recycling industry.
To highlight the major environmental, social and economic benefits that the industry brings both here in the UK and in other parts of the world.
To promote best practice in the industry.

Role in the project

Through its UK, European and global networks across used textile collection, sorting and processing, TRA will support SORT4CIRC by bringing practical, market-led insight into the research. This includes helping partners test assumptions, stress-test findings, and ensure outcomes are applicable across real-world operating conditions and international supply chains.
