Texiles is a startup clothing recycling service dedicated to eliminating clothing waste in the landfill. Customers can mail-in their used, worn out clothing and household linens and Texiles has it recycled into things like insulation, carpet padding, stuffing for cushions, and more—keeping some of the 16 million tons of clothing waste generated annually in the U.S., out of the landfill.
