REcycle

Underwear, bras, lingerie... yeah, it’s tricky. Most recyclers won’t go near it — too taboo - which is making it a significant environmental issue. But the planet doesn’t care. Textile waste is textile waste, and it doesn’t belong in landfill. Recycle them instead. Small change, big impact. We're turning this overlooked waste into an opportunity. Our unique system ensures that underwear is safely processed through a certified industrial laundry, mitigating health and saftey concerns. Once cleanerd the materials are recycled Our specially designed satchels can hold 30 -40 pieces of underwear. Project Down-Under is an initiative by Textile Recyclers Group(TRG).
