The Secondary Materials and Recycled Textiles Association (SMART) is an international trade association that has been promoting the economic opportunities of the for-profit textile recycling industry since 1932. SMART strengthens the industry by fostering the interdependence of its diverse membership segments and providing a common platform for networking, education, and advocacy.
SMART works towards expanding the reuse and recycling of clothing and textiles, aiming to reduce the alarming statistic that 85% of these materials end up in landfills, despite the fact that 95% of them can be reused or recycled. Through its various resources, events, and initiatives, SMART strives to promote high standards, support legislative measures, and raise awareness about the importance of sustainable textile practices.
