A Short History
Founded in 1932, the Secondary Materials and Recycled Textile Association
is composed of companies from the U.S., Canada, Mexico, South and
Central America, Europe, and Pacific Rim countries who are involved
in every phase of our industry.
These companies are involved with the grading and sorting of mixed
post consumer textiles for the wiping materials and used clothing
markets. Some are manufacturers and converters of nonwoven and paper
products; sorters and distributors of new textile products and byproducts;
manufacturers of textiles and many other types of companies. Still
others deal in mill ends, remnants, fibers and related materials.
All have realized the benefits of being involved with a truly
international trade association dedicated to serving and promoting
this dynamic industry.
The Mission...
SMART is a dynamic international association which seeks to strengthen
the economic opportunities of its members. It promotes the interdependence
of all its industry segments by providing a common forum for networking,
education, and trade.
