Our aim to reduce solid waste by reclaiming, converting, and recycling textiles. We are achieving this through our green manufacturing processes and by using biodegradable packaging, thereby reducing waste and minimising landfill usage. We are a ‘green’ company aiming for a zero-carbon footprint.

Our rags and wipers are manufactured in house, and we take pride in our ability to offer our customers tailored solutions along with competitive prices and fast delivery to match!
