Responsible handling

Start With the Right Classification

If stock is discarded as business waste in England, the business has waste duty-of-care responsibilities, including applying the waste hierarchy, transferring waste only to an authorised person and keeping appropriate records. Textiles are not currently one of the named material streams in England's Simpler Recycling workplace rules.

The best route for your textiles depends on their condition and whether they can be reused. Our team can talk through the collection options with you and point you towards helpful guidance, making it easier to find an approach that works for your business.
