Through this event, we are strengthening our commitment to Re-Viste, Spain's first textile SCRAP initiative.
We were one of the 21 companies invited to Leganés for an exclusive tour of Fundación Humana’s new facility, which is dedicated to textile reuse.
The visit brought together brands such as Inditex, H&M, Decathlon, Primark, and Uniqlo, among others, with the goal of gaining firsthand insight into a facility that is positioned as one of the country’s largest sorting centers for secondhand clothing and footwear.
The facility covers an area of 15,000 m² and represents a significant step forward in the development of industrial solutions for textile waste management.
Vayoil's participation in this meeting is part of its role on the Re-Viste committee, where it helps define and implement a structured model for the collection, sorting, and reuse of textiles in Spain.
Infrastructure and Collaboration: Key Factors in the Transformation of the Textile Industry
Humana Fundación is a social enterprise with more than 40 years of experience dedicated to the sustainable management of textile waste. Its activities span Europe, Africa, the Americas, and Asia, where it promotes reuse as a priority over recycling.
Globally, it handles more than 140,000 metric tons of textiles per year in 28 countries, establishing itself as one of the most prominent international players in this field.
In the Valencian Community, its operations also have a direct impact, with approximately 1,100 metric tons collected annually through a network of 300 containers.
The visit to the Leganés plant reflects the transformation currently underway in Spain’s textile sector. In this context, the involvement of companies like Vayoil is key to developing efficient solutions that will enable progress toward a circular model for textile waste management.
