Total clothing container overcrowded: Soex reports bankruptcy in Schleswig-Holstein!

In Schleswig-Holstein, the location is boiling: The textile recycling company Soex has filed for bankruptcy and the old clothing container sources! The Situation has been tense since the beginning of October because the emptying of the blue containers has stalled. Citizens are called up not to bring clothing to the containers, while the city of Kiel has already taken the first measures to empty. But in other regions such as the district of Plön, the location remains chaotic.

Soex fights for a solution

The bankruptcy of Soex causes a mess of the clothing collection. A spokesman for the State Office for Environmental Protection confirmed that the company wants to start emptying the containers again this week. However, there are still hurdles to overcome. While Kiel is already active, the circle of Plön has to lend a hand and empty the containers. The situation is tense and the citizens are concerned about the overflowing containers.

But what led to this crisis? Soex is faced with dramatic loss of yield. The traditional markets in Eastern Europe have broken away, while Asian competitors increase the pressure with overcapacity. This has led to unexpected financial difficulties. However, insolvency administrator Oliver Dankert gives hope: A new investor could be in sight to promote the future concept of Soex. With 450 employees across Germany, including 150 at the Ahrensburg location, and annual turnover of around 60 million euros is the future of the company on the brink.
