We needed a partner that wasn’t just a recycler, but a forward-thinking ally. Roberts Recycling helped us understand where circularity is heading and how we could be ready for it.

Sustainability Lead, Sportswear Brand

We were sitting on pallets of unsellable stock with no real plan. RRLTD helped us clear it quickly, securely, and without the risk. Their reporting and professionalism stood out.

Operations Lead, UK Activewear Brand

The take-back scheme was a game-changer. Customers loved the convenience, and we loved the simplicity. Roberts recycling handled everything, from comms to collection, and helped us deliver real environmental and social value.

Head of CSR, National Retailer

We’d struggled to responsibly clear unsold inventory without risking brand damage. Roberts Recycling gave us a managed process that prioritised reuse, eliminated storage issues, and supported our sustainability reporting.

Supply Chain Manager, Apparel Brand

The branded banks made a huge difference at our stores - staff were proud, and customers understood the cause. Roberts Recycling handled everything, and the reporting helped us share the results confidently.
