With nothing ending up in landfill, we feel this is a great value for money problem solver.
Recycle
Garments are quite easy to recycle if they are all made from one fibre rather than blended.
However, with poly-cotton blends, that process does become harder. Additionally, as the time or the cost to extrude and recycle fibres increases for the manufacturer, it becomes very difficult to create an affordable recycled product for the end-consumer.
With this textile shredding and recycling service, items will be separated into different materials wherever possible, and all suitable fabrics will be sent for recycling in their dedicated waste stream. With some garments that are tax-tagged, embroidered or printed, company brand. Other materials can also be sent for rag recycling where they are made into things like insulation, underlay, dust cloths and much more. Remaining shedded / mixed materials are sent for Energy generation from Waste facilities. There, they are incinerated under strict controls to generate energy for the national grid. This is a much more environmentally friendly option than sending materials to landfill. This method of shredding and recycling is ideal for businesses where large quantities of branded materials of uniforms need to be destroyed to prevent misuse or reselling.
