The Fiber Conversion Company converts this waste back into fiber before using it to produce highly demanded products such as <strong>rug pads, mopping pads, and mattress pads<\/strong>. These are sold in the local market and overseas, thus creating value in Tunisian textile exports.<\/p>\n<p>According to TAP, this innovative approach to waste management has had a significant impact in Tunisia, reducing waste in landfills and <strong>preserving the environment<\/strong>. Through its business, the Fiber Conversion Company is also creating economic opportunities for the local population. However, the company believes the existing tax legislation focused on workers who collect and sell textile waste must be revamped, reducing taxes to encourage the activity.<\/p>\n<p><em>Opening picture for illustrative purposes only<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Translated by Guilherme Miranda<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-325217\">\u00a9James Hardy\/AltoPress\/AFP<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fiber Conversion Company converts textile waste back into fiber to produce rug pads, mopping pads and mattress pads.
