Digital Waste Tracking for Textile Recycling Made Easy
Digital waste tracking for textile recycling doesn't have to mean more paperwork. Textile collectors run bank, charity and commercial collections and sort for reuse, export and recycling. We build a bespoke app around how your business works, so every job, weight and signature is captured once, digital waste transfer notes are sent automatically and your Defra records are submitted on time.
How Digital Waste Tracking for Textile Recycling Works
Textile collectors service clothing banks, charity shops, commercial customers and household collections, then sort for reuse, export and recycling. As carriers, they're planned to come into scope of digital waste tracking in Phase 2, and permitted sorting sites are already in Phase 1.
Digital waste tracking for textile recycling means recording every bank, collection and delivery digitally.
Textile Bank Rounds
The app plans bank emptying rounds, records weights per bank, notes damage and fly-tipping with photos and helps you spot underperforming sites.
Reuse, Export and Recycling Grades
Sorted textiles are recorded by grade for reuse, export or recycling, with weights and destinations, giving you a full chain from bank to final outlet.
Charity Partner Reporting
Many textile collectors work with charities. The app produces weight and income reports for each charity partner, linked to the banks and collections involved.
