At 1STCOVERALL, sustainability isn’t just a commitment — it’s the future we’re building. That’s why we offer a comprehensive PPE and textile recycling solution, designed to support circular practices from the ground up.
In partnership with one of the UK’s leading recycling providers, we deliver a proven, closed-loop scheme that helps reduce waste, protect your brand, and achieve your sustainability targets. By transforming end-of-life garments and protective equipment into renewed resources, we help your business move confidently toward a zero-waste future — with nothing going to landfill.
🧤 Accepted PPE & Workwear for Recycling
Our service handles a wide range of end-of-life workwear and PPE for safe, sustainable disposal and maximum material recovery, including:
By diverting these items from landfill, we help your organisation meet environmental and CSR objectives while supporting a circular economy.
🚛 Setup & Collection Process
We tailor collection to your operational needs — whether for a single site or a multi-location business — ensuring secure, compliant, and traceable handling from start to finish.
What We Provide:
🏭 Sorting & Shredding
At our secure processing facility, materials are sorted, debranded, and shredded with full chain-of-custody controls.
Process Highlights:
3-C Sorting: Colour, Composition, Contamination
We use a refined 3-C sorting system to determine the best reuse or recovery path for each item:
This method increases recovery efficiency and supports our zero-landfill promise.
🔄 What Happens Next: Zero-Waste Outcomes
A New Purpose for Every Fibre
Each recovered item is assessed and transformed based on fibre type and market demand, ensuring maximum reuse and environmental value.
Common Applications:
🔥 Energy Recovery (SRF)
When items are too contaminated or uneconomical to recycle, they are processed into Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) — a low-emission energy source used in industrial facilities such as cement kilns.
This ensures 100% diversion from landfill, even for difficult materials, while still extracting value.
🧾 Full Traceability & Reporting
Fully Tracked. Securely Processed. Responsibly Recycled.
Every item you recycle is tracked from collection to processing, providing a transparent, auditable trail for CSR and environmental reporting.
We help your business meet reporting standards, protect your brand, and contribute to a genuinely circular model of sustainable resource use.
