Microfibre Recycling Update
At Norwex we are constantly looking at ways to improve the way we do things, to be better ambassadors for our planet and our people. As launched at Annual Conference, we are excited to announce we have found an Australian company to partner with, that is able to recycle our Norwex Microfibre!
Clothing, linen, and other textiles that are no longer fit for reuse are diverted from landfill by UPPAREL and transformed into their revolutionary material, UPtex.
UPtex can be used in a wide variety of applications, including signage, homewares, acoustic panelling, and packaging, and could replace a wide variety of conventional materials that are typically made from virgin materials like cardboard, corflute, polyurethane foam, PET plastics, fibreglass — the list goes on.
When an UPtex product reaches its end of life, it can be returned to UPPAREL and recycled all over again, resulting in zero waste and supporting a circular economy.
You can continue to send your old microfibre back to Home Office, and we will forward it onto UPtex by Upparel.
