Football shirts, sports event banners and uniforms are piled up ready to be pumped into a machine which melts them down for recycling ready to be made into new clothes.<\/p>\n

In a world first in Kettering, Northamptonshire, Project Re:claim is taking technology used for recycling plastic bottles and adapting it to reprocess polyester textiles into granules that can be turned back into yarn for new clothes.<\/p>\n

The joint venture between the Salvation Army and recycling specialist Project Plan B uses items from the charity\u2019s sorting centre, which separates out the 10-20% of donated items that cannot be resold according to type of textile.
