Textile Recycling and Secure Destruction – your complete solution for textile waste management. From unused stock to branded uniforms, we provide fully sustainable solutions for all your textile waste needs.
The effectiveness of a textile recycling partner is defined by how your materials are handled after they leave your facility. At Red Rose Recycling, we specialise in collecting, sorting, and repurposing textiles. From industrial cleaning cloths to home insulation, we have solutions for all waste textiles, accompanied by comprehensive reporting that provides transparency about the entire process.
Red Rose has been part of the textile recycling trade since 1958, embodying a commitment to the circular economy. With over six decades of industry standards guiding its practices, Red Rose Recycling offers a recycling service rooted in experience and integrity.
We recover unsold and surplus retail stock, carefully sorting it for reuse or repurposing, keeping valuable textiles in circulation.
Turning end-of-life commercial textiles into diverse, sustainable products through our advanced circular recycling streams.

Family-run since 1986, with roots in the textile industry stretching back to 1958. Every item in our online store is part of the same circular process at the heart of our recycling service. We collect textiles, carefully sort and select them for their next use, ensuring valuable materials stay in circulation as long as possible.
Rather than treating recycling as the end of the journey, we see it as the start of the next. By bringing quality textiles back into genuine, practical use, we help reduce unnecessary waste and extend the life of existing materials.
Hospitality textiles such as linen, towels and robes, uniforms and workwear being decommissioned, and branded, surplus, end of line or counterfeit stock for secure destruction. If you are not sure whether something qualifies, get in touch with what you have and we will confirm.
