Inward bound vehicles arrive at the large sorting house on the Port of Boston, laden with bags of textiles here they are opened and sorted on tables. They are divided into six different categories, industrial wipers, materials used to produce underlay, shoes, items suitable for reuse items for donation to our local charity and waste.

At this point items which are suitable for reuse are divided into heavy and light weight material. Stringent quality control checks are the next point on the process each individual garment is assessed by our highly experienced team members to ensure that garments are correctly labeled and sectioned in to cages. Different customers have individual requirements and at reclaimed clothing we can respond to these requests due to our extensive sorting process. Bailing is in three different sizes 55kg, 45kg and 400kg, depending on the customers requirements. We are using a new type of strapping machine (Fromm P320) which allows us to strap the clothing with plastic strips rather than metal. We consider this to be a much safer alternative for both our own team and our customers by dramatically reducing the risk of health and safety associated with metal strapping wire. |

Currently only 9% of all the textiles that enter our warehouse leaves as waste. Our newest venture to recycle more of the waste rag is sending woollen and acrylic jumpers to James Robinson Fibres Ltd in Bradford. Here they are converted into underlay for flooring, displaying our commitment to our environmental policy. On completion of bailing, reclaimed clothing has the option of using the Port of Boston reducing the transportation costs. |
