Every year, 100 billion new items of clothing are produced whilst a truck full of clothing is burned, or buried in landfill every second. Our mission is to help brands end waste. To do this, we’ve created the world's first ever closed-loop, circular supply chain which allows us to make new products from waste material right from the beginning, and it’s a game changer.
We’re growing at an exponential rate and we work with some major brands such as BBC Earth, WWF, Ecosia, Google, Surfers Against Sewage and more.
We’re now advancing in our journey in helping brands end waste, and after a huge amount of success in recent years, we’re looking to increase our Business Development team to help us scale up to the next level.
Our purpose is to identify new partnerships & collaborations through research and relationship building. Our sustainable circular solution is sought after by many brands looking to reimagine their role in reducing waste, and you'll get the chance to grow our visibility by seeking out new leads and potential new markets that can benefit from our platform and introducing them to a sustainable approach to their brand.
