Business Forum often receives requests from members and other business and community leaders seeking resources for the recycling of pre-consumer textiles that are not appropriate for resale or donation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although donation centers such as Goodwill or Salvation Army accept textiles for resale and reuse, this is not a viable disposal pathway for certain post-industrial and pre-consumer waste.\u00a0 There are many scenarios in which textiles cannot be resold and are mechanically recycled instead, such as:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Requirement to destroy product due to brand integrity concerns<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Requirement to shred public safety uniforms&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Misprinted merchandise or overstock<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product lacks resale value or is not accepted by resellers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lack of resale market for items like printed signs, flags, or sails<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Concern that donated textiles will be shipped overseas to secondhand markets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To overcome these barriers and support a more circular textile economy, this guide serves as a business directory for Michigan-based businesses that repurpose or recycle textile waste (collectively referred to as \u201crecyclers\u201d).&nbsp; Each recycler in this guide is able to guarantee that branded materials will not be resold, redistributed through donation centers, shipped to export markets, burned for fuel, or landfilled.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div
