TissEco Solidaire - Social enterprise for employment of refugees and migrants

Language: French

Country: France

Thanks to the recycling of textile and clothes, the enterprise creates solidarity jobs for men and women in precarious situations. Because employment and integration are linked but not synonymous, it accompanies them in the face of the heavy problems they face: lack of knowledge of the language and culture for statutory refugees, accidents, prolonged inactivity, lack of experience and/or diplomas, etc.

Working for a sustainable but also ecological economy, the enterprise implements itself with the communities and collects the Clothes Boxes made available to the inhabitants to deposit their used textiles and shoes. These will be sorted internally before being routed to the different recycling streams.

TissEco Solidaire considers its role as the mesh of a social chain. Thus, it sets up pedagogical actions and events to meet the public and make them aware of the environmental issues of the life cycle of a textile. The objective: to give impetus to individuals to become actors in the textile recycling chain.
