GAO urges US govt agencies to collaborate on textile waste management

The US Government Accountability Office (GAO) has found that efforts by most federal entities to reduce textile waste and promote textile recycling are ‘nascent’.
Entities carry out individualised efforts and give these a lower priority than other goals, GAO said in a report to Congressional requesters.
GAO identified opportunities for inter-agency collaboration to improve these efforts.
