WHAT WE DO

At Merchant Tailor we want to help reduce landfill and clean our planet and oceans of damaging waste.

Merchant Tailor offers sustainable solutions including: recycled fabric sourcing, design and manufacture of apparel and accessories.

In addition, Merchant Tailor can provide recycling initiatives.

· Plastic waste collection and recycling to produce fabric.

· Recycling and reprocessing of apparel and other goods at the end of their present life to create new garments or goods.

Whilst customers often come to us with a specific requirement for the design and manufacturer of sustainable goods, many are interested in our ability to offer a fully circular process. This covers the collection and recycling of waste into yarns and fabric, to be ten made into branded products.

​

With our partners and certified factories, we produce fabric and products that incorporate up-cycled materials from landfill and ocean waste to offer end to end recycling.

Restoring the Natural Environment 

Through our more sustainable recycling and manufacturing processes, of using more textile waste as a material resource, by diverting it from landfill and ocean dumping, combining it with the recycling of plastic waste, produces low measurable damaging environmental impacts. In addition, by being less dependent on virgin materials, using less water and chemicals, and by reducing our CO2 emissions and energy usage, goes some way with our mission to restore a healthy natural balance.  

By producing more environmentally friendly fabrics and products, that can be used for all areas of your accessory and apparel collections, will give your customers the knowledge that they are choosing an option that  supports the mission to help protect and restore our planet....

Bespoke UP-recycling initiatives

PLASTIC WASTE UP-RECYCLING

Our model for a circular brand economy, is based upon the management and up-recycling of different forms of consumer plastic waste in our environment and turning it intro creditable product lines.

​

Most importantly, we help uncover and integrate the right environmental and community-led campaigns to align with the values of your company, clients, audience, and stakeholders

APPAREL AND ACCESSORY RECYCLING 

Our system for a ‘circular brand economy’, encompasses traceable sourcing and production processes, where we up recycle materials like tencel cotton and polyester garments and turn it into new yarns and fabrics for creditable new lines.

​

We work with you and our manufacturing partners to design a unique model of up-cycling textiles and garments taken from deposits or collections and put into our recycling. The garments are cut, shredded and spun into valuable new recover yarns and then into new fabrics. These are then made into long-lasting quality garments, for virtually every design and application in your range.

​

Like all garments, they will eventually wear-out, at which point they can be returned back to the up-cycled system, thus completing the ‘circular brand economy’
