Steering away from landfill

Our textile banks are collected and sorted by Textile Recycling International Ltd. They are Europe’s largest used garment distributors who collect pre-loved clothing, shoes and accessories across the UK and Ireland. They then sort and grade the textiles in the UK. The clothes are sorted based on quality and desirability and then recycled by raw clothing manufacturers or reused by clothing and shoes manufacturers. Currently, they facilitate the reuse of 70% of all collected garments and try to direct away from landfill.
