Profepa launches campaign to give a second life to textiles; check collection centres here

The Mexican environmental agency, Profepa, launched a campaign called 'Gol por el Ambiente' to encourage citizens to donate unused clothing to 333 collection centers across 27 states. The initiative aims to reduce textile waste ending up in landfills, rivers, beaches, and oceans. Participants can drop off clothes at locations such as universities, hotels, airports, department stores, companies, public offices, and workplaces. Major retailers like Walmart Mexico and C&A, along with local governments and organizations, have joined the effort. Profepa estimates recovering 1,389,990 kilograms of plastics and 19,942 kilograms of used textiles through the campaign. Each donated item represents an opportunity to reduce waste, protect biodiversity, and promote sustainability. The campaign provides a map and a list of active collection points, including their closing dates.
