FibreLab

We are London's only fully circular textile recycling hub. Our hyper-local textile recycling service is the only London-based service that can collect, process, recycle and remanufacture textile waste into new materials, entirely within the UK. With 80% of our supply chain taking place in London, and the remaining 20% based in England, we have the unique ability to remanufacture materials without exporting abroad. This allows us to increase the transparency of our supply chain, cut down on carbon emissions from transporting waste and support local economies. We can collect all fibre contents from any business generating textile waste. We use our industry know-how to sort textiles by fibre content and colour, removing any contaminants, and processing with our custom-build mechanical shredding machine to break down the textiles into a raw, recycled fibre. We then turn those recycled fibres into innovative new materials and products that can be utilised across industries. Our most recent material innovation, PAPERTEX is a fully circular paper material made from 100% recycled textile waste and manufactured entirely within the UK. PAPERTEX can be used for a wide range of applications, from swing tags, to business cards, menus and marketing materials. We encourage all businesses who recycle their textile waste with us, to take back the materials and to utilise it within their supply chains, creating a fully circular system. We also offer businesses individualised Impact Reports, measuring the total kilos we’ve collected from them, the amount of carbon saved by diverting waste from landfill or incineration, and the equivalent of trees planted to help put that carbon metric into perspective. Our textile recycling service is fully customisable and adapted to each business's needs, whether that’s needing collections every 2 weeks or every 2 months. We make textile recycling easy and accessible, helping businesses reach their sustainability goals.
