Upcycling the Unwanted: Saving Textiles from Landfill
Our Story
SevenC's Recycling began with a simple, powerful vision: to make a significant environmental impact by tackling one of the most pressing issues facing our planet today—the recycling of textiles. Founded in Rockingham, Western Australia, we will be the state's first purpose-built polyester waste recycling centre to transform textile waste into valuable recycled polyethylene terephthalate (RPET) Pellets.
​
Driven by the startling statistic that Australia generates more than 200,000 tonnes of textile waste annually, much of which is polyester, our founders saw an urgent need for innovative recycling solutions. This realisation sparked the creation of a facility equipped to recover polyester from discarded textiles and clothing.
​
Our journey is fuelled by a commitment to sustainability and a deep understanding of the environmental challenges posed by textile waste. At SevenC's Recycling, we are not just recycling materials; we are helping to forge a path towards a more sustainable future, reducing landfill waste, minimising the need for virgin materials, and contributing to a circular economy.
​
Every step of our process, from sourcing to processing, is guided by integrity, innovation, and sustainability principles. Our story is one of passion, dedication, and relentless pursuit of environmental excellence as we continue to grow and adapt to meet our planet's and community's needs.

Our Values
Sustainabilty
Drive textile sustainability forward, each recycled fibre at our facility contributes to reducing global textile waste and promoting sustainable practices.
Innovation
Dedicated to advancing textile recycling technology. Continuously embraces innovative methods to enhance process efficiency and environmental benefits.
Collaboration
Forage robust partnerships with a diverse range of institutions, both locally and internationally, to boost operational capabilities and propel global sustainability initiatives forward.
Transparency
Uphold transparency across our operations, ensuring that every aspect of our process, from sourcing to production, is clear and accessible to our stakeholders.
Sustainability
Our mission is deeply rooted in advancing global sustainability by transforming waste polyester into premium RPET. This process is not only environmentally beneficial but also significantly energy-efficient. Businesses utilising our RPET achieve substantial environmental savings, conserving more than 60% of the energy typically needed to produce virgin polyester, saving approximately 1.2 tonnes of oil per tonne of RPET, and slashing greenhouse gas emissions by up to 79%. Our commitment to sustainability extends through every step of our operation.
We uphold stringent standards for traceability and transparency, ensuring every phase from collection to pellet production is meticulously monitored, supporting informed decisions and promoting the principles of a circular economy. By converting textile waste into valuable RPET, we help minimise landfill use, offering a greener alternative for new products and contributing significantly to environmental preservation and economic viability.
Our dedicated efforts are pivotal in cultivating a more sustainable textile industry, firmly aligning with global efforts to achieve environmental sustainability and fostering a shift toward more eco-conscious industry practices.
