Each year, we divert over 25 million kilograms of clothing from landfill and instead giving them a second life in local and global communities where they are needed most or recycling them into new products.
We offer solutions to the community for local government, national and local shopping centres, schools, private organisations, charities and retailers.
Our business model is based on maximising social and environmental impact. We work with Australian Disability Enterprises (ADEs) and social enterprises to provide employment opportunities for people living with disabilities and youth at risk. We also support and work with major Australian charities by buying back items of clothing that haven't sold in their stores. This provides a vital and sustainable income towards their important social causes and reduces their costs. Through our clothing collection programs and monetary donations, we contribute over $1.99 million to Australian charities annually.
Approximately 94% of what we collect is diverted from landfill. What can not be reused, is either turned into rags or converted into an alternate fuel, called biofuel. SCRgroup is also researching fibre to fibre recycling options through their global partnerships to offer their clients and to contribute to an evolving circular economy in Australia and offshore.
SCRgroup is voluntarily complying with the Modern Slavery Act with our own Modern Slavery Statement. We are also undertaking a BCorp certification and aligning our business activities with the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals.
