Rethink
Retail Waste

Retailers are making themselves responsible for the waste created by the rag-trade. By having TRG pop up bins within your stores enables shoppers to discard of clothes they no longer want sustainably.

This simple in-store solution not only diverts textiles from landfill but also strengthens your brand’s commitment to sustainability. By offering customers an easy, visible way to recycle, you reinforce positive brand perception and encourage responsible shopping habits. Together, we can reduce waste, engage communities, and help reshape the future of retail for good.

Recycling offers a wide range of environmental benefits when it comes to textiles. By diverting garments from landfill, we significantly reduce the volume of waste that would otherwise contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and long-term pollution. Recycling also lessens the demand for virgin materials, helping to conserve natural resources.

It also supports the transition to a circular economy, where materials are reused, repurposed, and reimagined into new products, closing the loop on waste and creating a more sustainable future.

AS Colour, through its in-store take-back program, partnered with Textile Recyclers Group (TRG) to recycle unsellable and returned garments across Australia and New Zealand.

TRG manages secure collection, sorting, and fibre-to-fibre recycling, recovering natural and blended fibres into new textile materials. 100% of collected textiles were diverted from landfill, with recycled fibres repurposed into new fabrics and retail applications, delivering measurable carbon savings and a scalable, circular recovery model for the fashion retail sector.
