Our Process
We handle every aspect of the process, from collection to recycling, to minimize textile waste and contribute to a greener future.
The Problem:
Every 10 minutes, 6000kg of textile waste is discarded into Australian landfills.
On average, Australian’s purchase 27kg of new textiles and discard 23kg of textiles annually. Only about 7% of these items get recycled and the rest is left to decompose in landfills over hundreds of years.
Waste releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and deposits dyes into the waterways and the soil.
The world is in a textile waste crisis and the need for a circular economy has never been more important.
Reimagine, Reuse, Recycle - Our Textile Promise
-
Collection Bins
We begin by providing collection bins to designated locations, making it convenient for you to dispose of old PPE and uniforms.
-
Easy Pickups
When you're ready for a pickup, simply email our designated recycling address, and we'll coordinate a hassle-free collection service Australia-wide.
-
Sorting for Reuse
Upon receiving the garments, our team sorts through them. Wearable items in good condition are set aside for donation to trusted charity partners, with permission from our clients.
-
Decommissioning
For garments unfit for reuse, we move to the decommissioning stage, ensuring that no part goes to waste.
-
Shredding
Next, we shred the garments down into fibers, preparing them for a new life.
-
Recycled Products
In the final step, these shredded materials are transformed into new circular products through innovative manufacturing processes, reducing the environmental footprint and promoting sustainability.
-
For your items that are still fit for wear, we partner with Australian charities, social enterprises, and not-for-profits to give these textiles a second life. Please contact us if you have a charity, social enterprise or not-for-profit in mind.
-
Any textiles that have reached their end of life and are no longer in a fit-for-wear condition are given a new life through our unique recycling process. Interested in creating a product made from textile waste? Please contact us to discuss more.
