Textile Recycling

We currently send our fabric seconds stock to Upparel for sorting, reuse and recycling. Any lengths of fabric that are deemed reusable are offered to charity organisations. Any lengths that are unusable are recycled by shredding the fabric into cotton-like fibre material, which can be used in pillows, insulation and furniture. Our partnership with Upparel saves thousands of tonnes of textile waste that would have otherwise would have been sent to landfill.

In July 2022 - June 2023, we diverted 14,870 kg of textiles from landfill, preventing 52,045 kg in greenhouse gases.
