New old clothing bag in the Weinviertel: Free delivery starts 2025

At the beginning of 2025, the municipal offices that belong to the Korneuburg waste association will be provided free of charge. This was recently illustrated during a presentation at Retzer Altenberg. Numerous representatives of the waste associations from the Hollabrunn regions, Korneuburg, Mistelbach, Gänserndorf and Laa/Thaya came together to discuss the relevance of this project for the environment.

The meeting, moderated by Brigitte Schmidl, started with an analysis of current consumption behavior, which is often considered overly overly and wasteful. The experts present found that the textile industry does not only cause significant problems in production, but also in disposal. The aim of the initiative is to contain the so-called "textile craze" and to sensitize the population to the problem of old clothing disposal.

How does the old clothing bag work?

The use of the Weinviertel old clothing sac is uncomplicated: citizens can hand over their items that are no longer required in the old clothing containers provided. This simplifies the return of textiles and promotes a sustainable circular economy. It was clear that an efficient solution to avoid waste was required to reduce the region's ecological footprint.

The person responsible for the waste association emphasized the positive environmental balance that can be achieved by collecting and recycling from old clothes. The old clothing bag also represents an answer to the challenges that arise from the almost everyday fast fashion industry, which often goes hand in hand with an unexpected amount of textile waste.

The Initative has the potential to sharpen consumers' awareness and at the same time contribute to reducing waste revenue. Some experts pointed out that enlightened consumers who actively participate in the recycling process can lead to a positive change in dealing with clothing in the long term.
