Overview of Canadian Textile Recycling

The company acts as a central hub for sorting, grading, and wholesaling secondhand textiles to various markets including international trade. Their approach integrates efficient textile recovery with wholesale supply to meet the needs of vintage retailers, industrial clients, and recycling partners.
