BlockTexx is on an urgent mission to divert textile and clothing waste from landfill by re-manufacturing textile waste back into the world's new products; Fibre to fibre (clothing the world), fibre to product (protecting the world), fibre to agriculture (greening the world).

Australia is one of the highest consumers of textiles in the world, and our product stewardship schemes are voluntary -- so what needs to change to incentivise growth within the clothing recycling market?

Two men united in their quest to tackle one of the planet’s greatest landfill issues - clothing waste - have founded Queensland-based textile recycling business BlockTexx.

Unwanted clothing, towels and sheets are being dropped off at a council popup in Sydney. It's a new recycling initiative. Events like this across Australia aim to reduce the 800,000 tons of textiles, including clothes that are discarded each year, 90% of it sent to landfill.

Logan, QLD-based clean technology startup BlockTexx has teamed up with a Brisbane social enterprise group to convert tonnes of its ‘decommissioned’ clothing into resources for the construction, manufacturing and agricultural sectors.
