ASTRI wants to cooperate with charitable societies in order to reuse and recycle second-hand clothes. In this way, it is possible to produce textile products as woollen textile and much more.

Even this activity, that pratese district has been doing for around hundred years, needs to be supported and preserved. Moreover, a thing to underline is that professional diseases caused by rags sorting sector or
second-hand clothes don’t exist, that’s why sanitary inspections moved from 3 to 6 months.

Another intricacy for the trade of second-hand clothes abroad is the guarantee obligation, whereas in other EU countries the enclosed VII is enough, as happens in Germany. If we did this without the enclosed VII, we
would be criminally prosecuted. That’s unacceptable because we all are in Europe.
