Textile waste is one of the fastest-growing waste streams in the UK. According to WRAP, around 300,000 tonnes of clothing end up in landfill every year.

For retailers, the benefits of textile recycling go beyond doing “the right thing”.

Here’s why it matters:

• Cost savings: Recycling is often cheaper than general waste disposal.
• Sustainability credentials: Customers notice when brands make an effort.
• Corporate responsibility: Reducing landfill waste supports ESG targets.
• Space efficiency: Clearing old stock frees up valuable space.
