Challenge
Local authorities are under immense pressure to manage textile waste effectively, often with tight budgets, limited time and constrained resources. Currently, 49% of used textiles—around 35 items per person each year—are discarded in household bins, adding to the waste burden.
Traditional recycling models, dominated by large private companies, involve multi-layered systems with various players like waste collectors and sorters. This complexity makes it challenging for councils to maintain transparency and accountability, leaving them struggling to track waste flows and ensure local benefits, all while trying to meet sustainability goals.
Solution
We offer an innovative, Ai-powered recycling service that empowers local authorities to manage textile waste sustainably and efficiently. Our Ai4fibres technology processes garments locally, reducing environmental impact and fostering community involvement.
This approach eliminates the need for long-term contracts or significant infrastructure investment, providing a flexible and transparent solution. Additionally, we collaborate with schools and colleges to inspire future generations, ensuring lasting community engagement.

Challenge
Fashion brands, whether small designers or large companies are increasingly under pressure to manage the growing volumes of unsold and returned garments, especially with the expansion of take-back schemes.
From 2019 to 2021, these schemes experienced a 60% increase, collecting over 45 kilotonnes of textiles in 2021. With regulations like DEFRA’s 2023 push for mandatory take-back schemes, brands need secure, scalable and transparent solutions that protect their IP, align with sustainability targets and ensure responsible waste management.
