We are Australia and New Zealand’s most trusted and rewarding textile recovery and recycling organisation, offering innovative and sustainable solutions, and making a positive impact for the next generation.
1 – Collect - Customers, including individuals and recycling partner brands from New Zealand, send us their textiles regardless of their state. We pride ourselves on making this process seamless and simple.
2 – Sort - Once textiles arrive at our warehouse every item is identified and sorted through to ensure whether it’s fit for wear or unfit for wear. Each item is graded by our sorting team and analysed to be sorted into two overarching categories: reuse and recycle.
3 - Re-use - For items that are still fit for wear, we have an open-door policy for charities, social enterprises, and not-for-profits. They can come to our warehouse and collect as much clothing as they need, go out and make an impact with it, and return anything that is unused free-of-charge.
4 – Recycle - Where items are not fit for wear, we break down the textiles into a variety of categories depending on their material and decommissioning required. From there, we begin the recycling process. The textiles are tore up into a super fine fluffy fibre called FillUP which can be utilised to replace virgin polyester fill for cushions and stuffed toys. FILLUP can be taken one step further by being compressed to create our revolutionary circular product, UPtex. This completely recycled and recyclable material can be used for packaging, signage, homewares, and more! In addition to our UPtex recycling process, our comprehensive sorting operation allows us to support other industry leaders with suitable feedstock for their recycling approach. Why compete when we can collaborate!
