00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:12.000
Humana Fundación Pueblo para Pueblo is a foundation that has been involved

2
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:15.000
in textile waste management for 36 years.

3
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:18.000
Basically, we take used clothes

4
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:21.000
and textile waste that we collect with recycling containers

5
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:25.000
located on public streets and we transfer them to this facility

6
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:28.000
so they can be sorted and reused.

7
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:33.000
In Catalonia we are able to recover more than 4000 tonnes of clothes a year

8
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:37.000
and give a second life to more than 90% of the clothes

9
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:39.000
that we sort in this facility.

10
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:42.000
The location is very important for us logistics-wise because we are

11
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.000
very close to Barcelona, where our shops are located,

12
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:49.000
which is the final destination of the used clothes that we sort here.

13
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:54.000
It's also very close to the port of Barcelona,

14
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:58.000
from where some of the clothes are sent to different countries,

15
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:01.000
mainly in Africa, where people receive these clothes

16
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:04.000
to sell them there.

17
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:07.000
So the location of the facility is fundamental.

18
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:11.000
And it was really important that it

19
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.000
should be near Barcelona.

20
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:16.000
Secondly,

21
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:20.000
it had to be a sufficiently large and flexible space,

22
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:22.000
especially in terms of storage height,

23
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:26.000
for storing the clothes, and above all, a space that guaranteed

24
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:29.000
a good working environment, both for

25
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:33.000
logistics and storage tasks and also for offices.
