TAKE-BACK SERVICE via Community Groups

Offer a Take-back Service to empower your community

Promote your sustainability status & offer a user-pay Circular Take-Back Service.  Charge & collect a minimum of 120kg and help your community and customers send zero waste to landfill.   We also safely repurpose fashion and apparel deadstock. 


Request for a Quote to engage your community in a positive way that supports people and planet.

CIRCULAR TAKE-BACK SERVICE via the community

Community leaders can support the environment and offer our Circular Take-Back Service.  


All of our "waste" is kept in Australia to mitigate emissions and pollution, to provide job opportunities, especially for our disability enterprise partners and foster circular economy innovation in Australia.   


We first encourage wearers to donate, upcycle, recycle, repair or pass-on so that we only collect unwearable clothing and homeware textiles plus denim - the good, bad and ugly for the Circular Denim Project.


Available at present in Sydney the Take-Back service is to be paid for by the wearer/customer on a per kilo basis.  The role of the community or business is to weigh and collect the fees and book a pick-up once you have reached a minimum of 120kg.    


Our disability enterprise partners will collect, sort, dismantle & re-bale the textile waste ready to divert through our circular streams to grow the Australian circular economy industry.

OFFER A CIRCULAR TEXTILE WASTE SERVICE

Our Take-back service Set-Up and Admin fee is paid for by you - our clients after collecting from the wearer/customer.   You collect the waste and charge the wearer per kilo (purchase scales or use our estimated bag system).  


Once you reach a 120kg minimum our Disability Enterprise teams will collect.  Charges are to cover transport, sorting and disassembling services offered by our disability enterprise partners plus repurposing.


This Mixed service will utilise a wide variety of circular waste streams.  We currently offer 18 circular streams with new innovations to be added.   Services are currently available in Sydney with plans to extend in 2021. 


Textiles collected are denim, unwearable clothing and textile homewares are no longer useful - including the difficult mixed synthetic blends, socks, undies and bras. 

Contact Circular Centre to request a quote.  See further details below on our Circular textile waste streams.

STEP 1. Collect from locals and customers.

STEP 2. Sorting & dismantling

The unwearables, denim etc is delivered to the closest Australian disability enterprise to sort, collect data, dismantle & rebale.

EXAMPLE OF THE SERVICE OFFERED BY MOSMAN COUNCIL

The Circular Centre is proud to work with Mosman Council as the first council in Australia to divert their resident's textile waste away from both landfill and prevent from being shipped offshore.  


Mosman residents can download the RecycleSmart App and book a curbside collection of a wide variety of waste items including their "good" clothing that is donated to Vinnies and "unwearable" clothing and homewares including difficult items like bras, underwear, socks and old linen that are normally put in a rubbish bin.

STEP 3.CIRCULAR STREAMS

REUSE + REPURPOSE IN AUSTRALIA ONLY

We currently have 19 circular streams in Australia where we repurpose every waste material plus the packaging into other products.  Streams include buttons, zippers, elastic, synthetic mixed textiles, wool, cotton, denim etc.  See below for example streams.


Where possible, we offer a Take-back Service where our product are given a unique QR Code to follow the materials.  We encourage users and customers to then return the product so it can re-join our circular streams ensuring its still kept out of landfill.
