At RCYCL, our mission is to minimise the amount of textile waste that ends up in landfills. In order to address this issue, we provide customers with a fully biodegradable satchel for returning items to us using Sendle, our chosen courier that specialises in carbon-neutral delivery services. All textiles we receive are carefully sorted according to their fiber type and then transformed into new yarn. By utilising recycled materials, we actively promote the concept of circularity within the fashion industry and create innovative products. Furthermore, we are proud partners with one of Australia's largest textile recyclers, which enables us to make a significant positive impact on the environment. Our dedication extends to supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as well.

The RCYCL Return Satchel is made from completely biodegradable and compostable materials; corn starch, PLA (synthesised from corn) and PBAT (Polybutyrate Adipate Terephthalate).

Our current initiatives include the implementation of contracts for ethical sourcing and combating modern slavery in our supply chain. Additionally, we are proud partners with one of the largest textile recyclers in Australia, enabling us to make a positive impact on the environment.

At RCYCL, we collaborate with schools, businesses, and brands to drive sustainable initiatives. We organise fundraising events for schools, sponsor sustainability-forward fashion events, and engage in brand collaborations.

RCYCL is committed to achieving and maintaining inclusion and diversity. Here are some ways we have taken action: Inclusive Work Culture: We have fostered an environment that promotes respect and belonging for all employees. We celebrate diversity through programs and workshops that encourage open dialogue and feedback. Diverse Hiring Practices: We have implemented inclusive hiring practices to ensure a diverse workforce. Our recruitment processes are bias-free, and we actively reach out to underrepresented communities to increase diversity. Supplier Diversity: We prioritise working with diverse suppliers and vendors who align with our commitment to diversity.

By gathering worn-out garments that would otherwise end up in landfills, we actively contribute to reducing textile waste. Through the process of collecting and sorting these garments, we are able to regenerate them into brand new yarn, enabling us to promote circularity within the fashion industry. This approach helps us prevent textiles from being discarded into landfills, making a positive environmental impact.

We have chosen Better Packaging Co as the provider of our RCYCL Return Satchels, ensuring that they are entirely biodegradable. Additionally, our preferred courier service, Sendle, specialises in carbon-neutral delivery, aligning with our commitment to environmental sustainability.
