11,000kg in one day!
Another massive achievement by the Give a Sheet® for the Planet team and the local communities from Noosa, Sunshine Coast and Newcastle.
This demonstrates 's ability to support household donation and collection with onshore commercial scale resource recovery.
🌿 Give a Sheet for the Planet®, Record-Breaking National Recycling Week! 🌿
To celebrate , BlockTexx - textile recovery facility teamed up with Noosa Council, Sunshine Coast Council, and City of Newcastle to hold three Give a Sheet® for the Planet events in their communities..
More than 900 cars and Utes loaded up with end-of-life sheets, towels, and pillowcases flowed through the drop-off points across the three sites. By the end of the day, records were broken, with more than 11,000kg of end-of-life household linen donated. That’s the equivalent of 72,000 pillowcases diverted from local landfill or export.
A big shout out to the councils who mobilised their ratepayers and businesses to tackle the problem of textiles going to local landfills.
BlockTexx® estimates that the National Recycling Week events offset approximately 330,000 kg of CO2, which is the equivalent of taking 71 cars off the road per year.
