Our Mission

Our services cover commercial and industrial laundry, hospital facilities, hotels, property management companies, and more. We partner with local retailers of secondhand goods, brands and retailers, textile mills, and repair specialists to guarantee that all contributions are put to good use instead of being dumped in landfills.

Recycle Old Unwanted Clothing and textiles
We are an organization, committed to working toward a green world by helping each other to recycle more.
Together we can build a better future for all our children.
What about damaged items that cannot be repaired, upcycled, or renewed by your partners? What will happen to those items?
What happens to the irreparable items? For 100% pure fabrics like cotton, polyester, silk, and wool, we partner with textile processors who have the capability to break down these materials into recycled fabrics. Meanwhile, for other collected materials that cannot be repaired or upcycled for resale, we will either store them temporarily until a better solution arises or sell them back to processors. Since new developments in textile processing technologies allow us to break down blended fibers and create recycled fabric, our partners always look out for the latest innovations in this area.
