The Circular Textile Waste Service (CTWS) is the next step beyond recycling. Australia's first and only service to send zero textiles overseas, zero textiles to landfill and divert zero plastic microfibres back into recycled fabrics that just keeps shedding plastic.
Our circular streams can be tailored to suit
1. Commercial bulk waste
2. Councils
4. Community groups + eco-businesses
4. Deadstock + Take-Back Service for fashion & apparel
As a start-up, currently we offer our service through Mosman City Council and Virgin Airlines and are working with councils and businesses to put the service into the community as quickly as possible.
THE CIRCULAR CENTRE has partnered with some of Australia's key circular design and carbon sequestering innovators to foster circular industry employment opportunities, particularly for Australian Disability Enterprises.
At last official count, Australia recycles 88,000 tonnes of clothing per year, however a staggering 800,000 tonnes of textile waste goes to landfill. The CTWS works to divert this valuable resource to reuse, redesign, recycle and repurpose using circular design streams located in Australia.

Councils can advertise their service to be Zero Textile Waste and offer it to residents so they stop throwing into their garbage bin.
RecycleSmart and the Circular Centre work with councils to ensure that:
1. "good" clothing is donated to Vinnies
2. clean unwearable clothing and homewares are given to us to be saved from landfill
3. unwanted denim - the good, bad and ugly denim is repaired, upcycled and re-designed through our collaboration with TAFE NSW.
