Waste Reduction & Recycling
Collies Group is actively working to reduce textile waste by recovering and repurposing materials from unused corporate garments and fabric remnants. Through this process, materials that would otherwise go to landfill are transformed into reusable fibre for new products.
Why it Works
In partnership with specialist non-woven recycling experts and local charities like the Hillcrest AIDS Centre (HACT), we give new life to our textile waste, helping to reduce landfill impact while contributing to a more circular manufacturing process and creating jobs in our communities.
HOW IT WORKS
Unused garments and fabric offcuts are collected, cut, shredded into fibre, baled, and then reused as raw material for new products.
