From fashionistas to tradies, small business to large-scale corporations, machinists to professors

Textiles are the fabrication of our society

Many don’t realise it, but textiles can be found nearly everywhere in our day-to-day lives. From the usual suspects, to flags, banners and car tyre cords! This makes disposing of unwanted materials a daunting process for those not directly in the process or trade. Textile recycling is not a waste stream, it is a process towards circular solutions. TRA’s textile recycling program partners understand this, and we support them with solutions, recycling, repurposing and upcycling.

Many varied industries use textiles

We work with industry on processes tailored to the needs of the material
Together we keep textiles out of landfill

Retailers

Uniforms and fashion make up a significant part of TRA’s customer base. Retailers such as Aldi, Woolworths and Blackwoods have their uniforms sustainably shredded through our services. Fashion customers include Seed, French Connection and Uniqlo. We also work with Sheridan on their Re-Thread Program, turning unwanted bed linen and towels into blankets and floor mats. Services for retailers include:

  • Take back bins on site
  • Processing and shredding of materials
  • New-life options

Uniforms and apparel

Changes in trends, re-branding, old school and work uniforms, can cause concern when they are no longer wanted or needed. TRA proves time and again that our recycling processes serve towards a circular economy. You need to dispose of uniforms or fashion items but are not sure of next steps? Does the below sound familiar?

  • Warehouse has a variety of stock that is aged and can no longer be used
  • Print and Embroidery did not meet the required specification, now what do we do?
  • Old uniforms are being sent back but we can’t give old uniforms to new staff
  • Marketing has just rebranded and now uniforms are obsolete

Manufacturers

Work rooms on average have 10% waste that ends up on the cutting floor. If you are a local manufacturer and have textile waste i.e. scraps, old rolls of fabrics, discontinued lines etc. We can help

You are a manufacturer who uses textiles but don’t fit in either of the above categories? We can probably still help.
