Products from recycled plastics your brand can trust
We work with brands that care about where their materials come from. Together, we turn post-consumer plastic waste into textile products that are certified, traceable and something to be genuinely proud of.
Find the right recycled product for your brand
We make shopping bags, uniforms, sportswear, fashion, backpacks and fabric by the metre, all from post-consumer plastic. Whatever the category, traceability data and an Environmental Impact Report come with every order.
Reusable shopping bags
Durable reusable bags made from post-consumer plastic, with traceability data and an impact report on every order.
Recycled fabrics and yarn
rPET and rPP fabric and yarn sold by the metre, made from post-consumer plastic and traceable from collection to roll.
Sportswear
Activewear, team merch and outerwear made from recycled polyester that performs like the virgin fabric it replaces.
Fashion and apparel
Recycled fabrics developed to match the look and handfeel of your current collection, from dresses to knitwear.
Backpacks and bags
Backpacks, totes and travel bags made from rPET and rPP, with each material matched to the structure the bag needs.
Used by the world’s leading companies
Global brands across fashion, retail, hospitality and food use our recycled products, with full traceability on every order.
How we work with your brand, from fabric to finished product
One supplier from fabric selection to finished, documented product, so your team does not have to coordinate mills, factories and testing separately.
01
Circular product development
We help you choose the right recycled fabric and product specification for your design, performance needs and budget.
02
Transparent manufacturing
We set up a traceable production route through certified mills and factories, matched to your volumes and timelines.
03
Finished goods with full documentation
Your goods arrive with an Environmental Impact Report and a QR code linking to the product’s EIR and blockchain data, so every claim you make has evidence behind it.
The evidence behind every claim
New EU rules like PPWR and EmpCo mean recycled content claims now need proof. Our Proof Hub explains what buyers need to show, and how the documentation that comes with every order covers it.

Hear what our partners have to sayÂ
We work with brands across fashion, sportswear, hospitality, retail and beyond. Here is what some of them have to say.
Most of the line, not one collection
Fabienne Chapot has moved the majority of its polyester across to fabric made from recycled bottles. Each new fabric has its own optics and handfeel to develop before it can replace the virgin equivalent, so the work is continuous rather than a launch.
Ideas, insights, and updates from our team
Building a circular future requires transparency and constant innovation. Here, we share news, insights, and project developments that highlight how we are transforming waste into premium products for global brands.
Frequently asked questions
What does Waste2Wear do?
We turn post-consumer plastic into traceable, verifiable recycled textiles and products for global brands. We supply recycled fabric and manufacture finished products across fashion, sportswear, bags, accessories and uniforms, with verification, traceability and environmental reporting built into every order.
What materials do you work with?
Our core materials are rPET, made from 100% post-consumer plastic bottles, and rPP, sourced entirely from post-consumer food containers. We also produce mailers, made from rLDPE.Â
Do you sell fabric or finished products?
Both. We supply recycled fabric by the metre for brands running their own production, and we manufacture finished products end to end for brands who want us to handle the full process. Our textile product manufacturing page covers how that works.
How do you verify recycled content?
For rPET, we use RA3, our patent-pending in-house method that returns an exact recycled-content percentage rather than a range. For rPP, we rely on GRS certification and our documented supply chain. Our certifications page sets out the full picture.
Where are your products made?
We manufacture in China and Vietnam, under the same certification and traceability standards across both locations. Every product carries a QR code linking to a blockchain record of its supply chain, so the manufacturing location is documented rather than just stated.
