Recycle
The textiles we accept, and the six stages that turn them into material.
Too damaged or worn out to donate.
Left over from cutting, sewing and processing.
Bulk textiles replaced on a cycle.
Acceptance depends on each material’s composition, condition and contamination. Not sure about yours?
Check my material
Gathered from homes, communities, institutions and manufacturers through agreed collection arrangements.
Sorted by material type, fibre composition, colour and condition, to find the best recovery route.
Buttons, zips and other non-textile parts removed, as the intended use requires.
Cut, shredded and opened mechanically to recover reusable textile material.
Recovered fibre is graded for filling, nonwoven, acoustic and industrial uses.
Sorting is where recovery value is created.
