The Circular Centre works with Australian government, businesses and the community to:

keep textile waste out of landfill waste facilities + mitigate emissions & pollution
collect & valorise unwearable + unusables textile "waste" and divert the resources through local circular streams to reuse, repair, redesign + safely repurpose into new local products
set up Circular Textile Precincts & offer jobs and training for Australian social + disability enterprises
combine a human centered workforce + smart tech to fast-track processing
sell affordable “new” products via a Circular Market
support circular innovation to keep 100% of the resources in Australia
create a financially sustainable circular service to support local industries
develop new safe textiles to replace both virgin and recycled synthetics
encourage garment producers worldwide to use eco-textiles able to be be home and commercially composted.

The Circular Textile Waste Service (CTWS) is the next step beyond recycling. Australia's only fully circular service that sends zero textiles offshore, zero textiles to landfill and diverts zero plastic microfibres back into recycled yarn that just keeps shedding plastic microfibres.

GOT WASTE?

See individual services that we offer according to your waste and email us to request the full Presentation.

Our circular streams offer textile diversion solutions based on garment type, product type and fibre type. Our existing circular streams and Circular Market offer clients an opportunity to divert and/or purchase circular products.

As a start-up, we are working with councils and businesses to put the service into the community as quickly as possible.

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.

We were recently invited to exhibit and attend the Minister for Environment's National Clothing Textile Waste Roundtable, see further details on CC News.

Providing the missing piece of the recycling puzzle to become circular

HOW DOES IT WORK?

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 and redistribute to a growing number of circular streams throughout Australia
OR we send direct to the waste stream that suits your material type.

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.

Contact us to request an Assessment Form to determine which of our resource recovery services and streams you require and provide a quote.

WHAT WE DO DO.

we address the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals especially #13 Climate Action and request that our clients sign a commitment to with the United Nations Charter for Climate Action.
we divert and 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 support disability enterprise's working with Australia's peak body BuyAbility
we support charities and re-sharing communities.

and through the Circular Market 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
