Our Services
Divert & Collect
Our tailored solutions offer a convenient and accessible way for your business to contribute to reducing textile waste. Our Impact Partners either send us their end-of-life garments direct or call on our ImpacTex Logistics team (recyclenotospam@impactex.nz) to arrange freight, courier, rental bins or standard pickups.
Re-Use
With a commitment to our Social Impact Partners, our sort process provides opportunities to donate resaleable clothing to charities, social enterprises and not-for-profits.
This approach not only helps reduce waste but also supports organisations that can distribute your end-of-life clothing to our local communities and especially people and families in need!
Recycle / Upcycle
When textiles are not suitable for wear, our Recycle/Upcycle process comes into play. In New Zealand, we have developed a revolutionary material, which has versatile applications such as packaging, acoustic panelling, corporate giftware, indoor/outdoor signage, merchandising displays and much more.
By transforming these end-of-life textiles, together we’re not only diverting them from landfills but also creating a Sustainable Alternative to products made from virgin non-sustainable materials, such as corflute, polystyrene and fibreglass.
Sort
This first step in our Recovery process is crucial in ensuring the most appropriate recovery channel for each textile item. Our trained team meticulously sort and grade the garments, to identify whether they are suitable for:
- Reuse via donation to our Social partners or
- Repurposing via donation to our network of creative designers and artists or
- Recycling via our manufacturing partners
De-Commissioning
Items that are branded (uniforms) or not deemed suitable for resale by our Social Partners are meticulously prepared for the next stage of recycling. This is a particularly crucial stage of the process to ensure there are no foreign objects and ‘hardware’ remaining on the garments prior to our Recycle/Upcycle process.
Reporting
In today's world, consumers and investors alike are increasingly seeking environmental transparency from the companies they choose to align with. It has become a crucial factor in earning trust and validating their commitment.
