Providing the missing piece of the recycling puzzle to become circular

HOW DOES IT WORK?

By filling in an Assessment we can ascertain which of our resource recovery services and streams you require and provide estimates.

AT A GLANCE.

• We collect OR you deliver a minimum of 120kg
• the clothing and textile waste is transported to our local disability enterprise partners to sort, weigh, collect data, dismantle & rebale
• OR its sent direct to the waste stream that suits your material types.

NEXT STEP.

• depending on your material type, the product is sent to reuse, upcycle or repurpose.  
• we collect, measure and audit the disposal, resource recovery and repurposing data and offer a Life Cycle Assessment
• You will receive a Zero Textile Waste Certification and data on the carbon emissions you have mitigated. 

WHAT WE DON'T DO.

• we don't send to landfill, incinerate or ship overseas as this will create more carbon emissions and pollution plus just end up in another countries landfill creating more carbon emissions. The Circular Centre is the only service in Australia that doesn't do this.

WHAT WE DO DO.

• address the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals especially #13 Climate Action and request that our clients sign a commitment to change with the United Nations Charter.
• divert & harness the textile waste instead of causing more harm or a little bit less harm
• we promote circular economy innovation, industries and manufacturing to stay in Australia
• we both mitigate carbon emissions by diverting textiles from landfill plus sequester carbon through our #iamcarbonpositive direct action initiative
• we encourage education, awareness and community empowerment and highlight problems with over consumption plus promote reuse, recycle and redesign streams
• we create safe repurposed products and will not allow our synthetic fibres to be put back into the fashion supply chain to continue to cause harm
• we develop financially sustainable circular systems 
• we support disability enterpries working with Australia's peak body
• we support charities and re-sharing communities.

Services are provided for councils and community groups (in Sydney at present), commercial operators, plus corporate and fashion labels for a deadstock and Take-back Service.  A minimum of 120kg, services include

• Council residents for a pick-up or drop off service
• Community centre drop off service
• fashion label garment deadstock plus a take-back fashion and corporate collection service
• and/or strategically placed 120kg clothing bins.  

Two streams are; THE UNWEARABLES  including all difficult products like bras, underwear , workwear and mixed blend fibres like polyester and cotton blends. This stream also includes the commercial waste.

The second stream is CIRCULAR DENIM - we take the good, bad and ugy and divert to Sydney TAFE. See details below.

When required, products are delivered to the closest disability enterprise who sort, dismantle, collect data and then re-bale ready to be sent to the various circular streams to be repurposed.  See details on our first council; Mosman City Council.

Arrange a collection or deliver your own commercial textile waste to be repurposed and receive Certification from The Circular Centre as sending zero textile waste to landfill to help mitigate carbon emissions and reduce pollution.   

We work with clients to create an appropriate service to divert the waste plus offset the carbon emissions, and if possible, utilise the Federal Government's Emissions Reduction Fund.

Businesses can promote themselves as leaders in circular economy solutions for textile waste and receive Zero Textile Waste Certification.  The CTWS is to be independently audited as a circular design system.   

Fill in the Assessment to let us know about your product, materials and volume to arrange a quote.  We can use circular streams ranging from diversion and recycling through to full destruction to maintain IP and security.

Companies with unused uniforms, fashion labels and garment producers may have deadstock, or encourage customers to drop off their unwearable clothing and create a Take-Back Service.  

We can take a minimum of 120kg and can collect or the company can deliver.  Garments are sent to our Disabiliy Enterprise partners where it is sorted and dismantled and sent through up to 15 circular waste streams created by the Circular Centre.

All clients receive Certification from The Circular Centre named, Zero Textile Waste Certified as sending zero textile waste to landfill to help mitigate carbon emissions and reduce pollution.

Through our waste streams plus an exciting partnership soon to be announced, Circular Denim will divert all collected denim - the good, bad and ugy; to fashion students studying at Sydney's top two fashion design institutions.

Students will learn, display and sell their creations made from reclaimed denim - everything from a whole garment to couture.
