Sweden struggles with textile waste surge, lets torn clothes be thrown away with regular trash
STOCKHOLM, July 19 — Sweden said Thursday that some used clothes can now be thrown away with regular trash, after an EU ban on textile disposal overwhelmed municipalities and flooded recycling centres. The decision, effective October 1, follows the European Union's decision this year requiring member countries to implement separate textile recycling, alongside existing processes for glass, paper and food waste. Textiles are then sorted to either be reused or recycled as padding, isolation or composite materials. But recycling centres in Sweden and other EU countries have struggled to keep up with the influx that ensued. 'Since the start of the year, the amount of textile waste collected has increased significantly, and with it the costs of sorting,' the Swedish government said in a statement. The new regulation defines which textiles are to be sorted and which can be directly thrown in the trash, such as torn socks, stained textiles and overly worn clothes, environment minister Romina Pourmokhtari told reporters. Humana Sverige, which collects and sells used clothing, told AFP Thursday that 'the influx of textiles we receive has dramatically increased'. Humana told AFP that it was closing 600 of its 1,300 collection points in order to limit the flow. 'It's impossible for us to handle everything,' the organisation explained. The issue is not limited to Sweden, Sverige said: 'Damaged clothes are sent to sorting centres in Europe, but the entire sector is overwhelmed due to this regulation.' — AFP

Air India to restore some international flights following reduction over crash
As part of the partial resumption, Air India has reduced flights to some destinations in Europe and North America. (Air India pic) BENGALURU : Air India said on Tuesday it would partially restore its international flight schedule that was scaled back following the crash involving its flight last month that killed 260 people. As part of the restoration, Air India will start a thrice-weekly service between Ahmedabad and London Heathrow from Aug 1 to Sept 30, replacing the currently operating five-times-a-week flights between Ahmedabad and London Gatwick. A Boeing Dreamliner bound for London from the Indian city of Ahmedabad began to lose thrust and crashed shortly after takeoff on June 12. All but one of the 242 people on board and 19 others on the ground were killed. Air India reduced some of its international flights following the crash as part of a 'safety pause' that the carrier said allowed it to perform additional precautionary checks on its Boeing 787 aircraft. The partial service resumption will see some flights being restored from Aug 1, with full restoration planned from Oct 1, 2025, Air India said. As part of the partial resumption, Air India has reduced flights to some destinations in Europe and North America. These include reductions in the frequency of Delhi-to-Paris flights to seven times a week from 12, effective Aug 1. Flights on the Delhi-Milan route have been reduced to three times a week from four earlier. The frequency of flights from Mumbai and Delhi to New York JFK has been cut to six times a week from seven earlier, the airline said.

Arms maker Saab sees sales rise, growth potential
Saab CEO Micael Johansson said that following the Nato summit, members of the military alliance committed to increasing defence spending to 5% of GDP. (EPA Images pic) STOCKHOLM : Swedish defence group Saab reported today stronger-than-expected earnings for the second quarter (Q2) in 2025, noting future growth potential due to Nato countries agreeing to increase defence spending. Saab reported sales of SEK19.8 billion (US$2 billion) in Q2, up from SEK15.2 billion a year earlier. It was better than the SEK18.1 billion that analysts were expecting, according to surveys by Factset and Bloomberg. Net income for Q2 came in at SEK1.5 billion, up from SEK1 billion for the same period a year earlier, and beating the SEK1.3 billion that analysts were expecting. 'We are navigating in a world where geopolitical tensions have escalated, mainly driven by the conflicts in the Middle East and the ongoing war in Ukraine,' Saab CEO Micael Johansson said. Johansson also noted that following the Nato summit in June, members of the military alliance had committed to increasing defence spending to 5% of GDP by 2035. 'While this will enable significant growth for our industry, the shift from defence planning and policy alignment to procurement takes time,' Johansson said. He added that the company was 'continuing to invest in capacity increases and… proactively working in close cooperation with our suppliers to secure future deliveries'.
