ABOUT US

Not a broker.
A fibre specialist.

We're a UK specialist in textiles and complex fibre waste, working with councils, HWRC operators, waste companies and manufacturers.

WHAT WE'RE FOR

We close the gap between complex waste streams and the recyclers who can actually turn them into something new.

Most material that ends up in residual waste isn't there because it can't be recycled. It's there because nobody split it properly or found the right partner. That's the bit we do.

We collect from your sites and separate material into dedicated streams by fibre and material type. Then we match each stream to a specialist partner in the UK or Europe, aiming for fibre-to-fibre recycling wherever it's possible. Wearable items go to reuse first, and every load is backed by evidence you can show an auditor.

PRINCIPLES

Six things we don't compromise on.

○

Split, not mixed

Dedicated streams by fibre and material type, because mixed bales rarely become new fibre.

∞

Fibre-to-fibre

Reuse first, then into the next yarn. Other routes only where fibre-to-fibre isn't possible yet.

Built for

Council waste officers

Banks that get emptied, numbers you can report, and routes that survive a bad market.

HWRC contract managers

A specialist pair of hands for textiles and complex fibre streams, across one site or a whole network.

⚲

Traceable

Weighbridge tickets, transfer notes and a mass balance. Every load accounted for.

☇

Responsive

A named person who picks up, and extra lifts when your sites get busy.

Waste management companies

An outlet for the fractions you'd rather not touch. We're not after your contract.

▤

Resilient

A network of UK and European partners, so one processor's bad week isn't yours.

⌗

Data-led

Site-by-site figures in the shape your recycling targets and returns need.

Manufacturers

Offcuts, rejects and returns, from PU foam to PA66 fabric, kept out of the general waste skip.

“Why not just use a broker?”
Fair question.

A typical broker

Fibreuse

Splits material into dedicated streams and routes each to the partner that can turn it back into fibre.

The model

Moves mixed bales to whoever pays most this week.

Specialist UK and European partners, so there's always a second route.

Partners

One favourite processor. When it stops taking, so do you.

The awkward streams are why we exist.

Awkward material

Clothing, please. Foam, mattresses, carpet? Sorry.

Weighbridge tickets, mass balance and an audit-ready pack.

Evidence

A transfer note and a shrug.

Reuse first, then fibre-to-fibre. Other routes only where that isn't possible yet.

Priorities

Price first, questions later.

We talk early, and we already have options lined up.

Bad markets

The phone stops being answered.

Site-by-site, stream-by-stream figures for your targets and returns.

Data

A monthly total, if you chase.

End goal

Off the yard, out of sight.

Into the next yarn.

OUR PROMISE

We'd rather tell you a stream has no good route than pretend it does.

WHY NOW

The market's moved.
Your duty of care hasn't.

If textiles feel like harder work than they used to, it isn't you. Four things have changed the job.

IN PLAIN ENGLISH You need a partner who splits streams properly, has more than one route for each, keeps a paper trail that stands up, and is aiming higher than “off the yard”. Hello.

–£150 to –£10

£/TONNE · HWRC BANKS · SEPT 2026

The latest published range for HWRC textile banks. In January 2026 it was –£80 to +£5. Now even the top of the range is a charge. Routes that only work in a good market don't work.

April 2027

WALES · WORKPLACE TEXTILES

The Welsh Government plans to phase in a requirement for workplaces to separate all textiles, not just unsold stock, by April 2027. Separately collected textiles have been banned from landfill in Wales since April 2024.

1 Oct 2026

DIGITAL WASTE TRACKING IS LIVE

Permitted receiving sites in England and Wales must now record every load digitally. Carriers, brokers and dealers are scheduled to follow from October 2027.

EPR

TEXTILES ARE ON THE TABLE

Industry's January 2026 blueprint calls for a mandatory UK textiles EPR scheme. Expect sharper questions about whether your fibre actually gets recycled.

01

Snap a photo

Of the bank, the bale or the pile. A phone picture is fine.

Got a stream nobody wants?
Good.
