Environment

Governments in countries around the world are keen to improve the environment in which we all live in a variety of ways. This could be achieved by doing a number of different things such as reducing the level of carbon emissions that are produced whilst generating energy, recycling old clothes rather than such clothing ending up in landfill sites and making the water cleaner.

Here in the UK, we are encouraged to separate our recyclable rubbish such as cardboard boxes from our normal rubbish that we wish to dispose of whether it is in our homes or businesses. This helps the environment.

An extreme example of the environment being affected in a detrimental way is due to climate change. This has resulted in sea levels rising which has eroded coastal land in many places and in some cases has caused some properties by the sea to collapse into the water leaving people with having to be re-housed.

Here at Pro Eco Group, we support anything that can be done to help make the environment more pleasant. One of the things that we are involved in is the recycling of clothing worldwide. We work closely with the likes of charities that are looking to pass on some of the second hand clothing that they receive to people in third world countries where there is a great need for such garments. Textiles are also recycled to be made into other things for the benefit of others.

By recycling old clothes and other fabrics, raw materials are being conserved and less energy is being used than what would be needed to manufacture new garments this reducing carbon emissions and benefits the environment.

There are many other things that have an impact on the environment. For instance, every year it is estimated that between 1.6 million to 2 million vehicles come to the end of their life here in the UK. Such end-of-life (ELV) vehicles have to be disposed off in a particular way by waste sites to reduce the impact from an environmental point of view.

We all need to do what we can to help improve the environment because, in doing so, it is helping to create a better world for us all. So, if you are, for instance, interested in arranging for the shipping of recycled clothing overseas then why not get in touch with a member of our team here at Pro Eco Group.
