Video by @lucalocatelliphoto | A worker checks recycled wool in a factory in Prato, Italy. This white fluffy stream of fibers is the end product of a long process that has been mastered in Prato for over a century, after a law prohibited the import of raw wool—and promoted the rise of textile recycling in this small Tuscan city.

It is estimated that worldwide only 1% of our discarded clothing is ultimately recycled into new garments because of the complexity and the lack of sorting. Yet companies in Prato say they successfully recycle over 15% of garments in the recycling stream worldwide, with a market value of $2.5 billion.

Could Prato represent a model for sustainability recycling textiles, often wasted in landfills or incinerated? This video is part of my ongoing investigation around Circular Economy. Please follow me @lucalocatelliphoto to discover more.
