Across the fashion, retail and manufacturing sectors, textile waste presents complex challenges.
From excess stock and quality control failures to sensitive branded materials that cannot enter secondary markets.
Director John Roberts explains in our latest Linkedin video how Roberts Recycling works with hundreds of leading global brands to provide secure, responsible and tailored solutions for end-of-life textiles.
Brands come to us with a wide range of challenges. These often include manufacturing issues, sizing errors, uniform or branding changes, counterfeit or licensing infringements, and textile by-products generated as part of the production process.
In many cases, these materials are sensitive and require careful handling to protect brand integrity.
Our approach always starts with listening. We take the time to understand each client’s concerns, their risks, and their sustainability objectives, before designing a solution that fits their needs.
For some projects, this may involve secure handling and shredding to ensure materials cannot be reused incorrectly or fall into the wrong hands.
To support this, Roberts Recycling has invested significantly in specialist shredding equipment. This allows us to continue dealing responsibly with non-rewearable textiles at a larger scale.
Where reuse is not suitable, our focus shifts to recycling textiles into products that can replace virgin materials.
This includes applications such as insulation, underlay and a growing range of innovative end uses that help extend the value of textiles while reducing environmental impact.
We work hard to reflect the values of the brands we partner with, providing full transparency and assurance that materials are handled exactly as agreed.
If you are a retailer, brand or manufacturer producing textile or fashion waste or are looking for a sustainable and ethical recycling solution for textiles, get in touch!
