Textile/rubber is one possible construction. Leather, synthetic uppers, foams, adhesives and trims need the maker’s material list.
06 · COLLECTION & RECOVERY
The next life is local.
Keep a useful object in service through reuse or repair where appropriate. For end of life, identify the whole item and its local collection programme; material composition alone does not establish acceptance or a destination facility.
Textile fibres
Wearable textiles may be reused or donated. Verify acceptance for damaged textiles and blends with the receiving programme.
Rubber / elastomer
Tyres have dedicated return and recovery options in many places. Other rubber goods need their own acceptance check.
