SevenC’s Recycling is WA’s first dedicated polyester textile recycling facility, launching in 2025 in Rockingham. The facility will process textiles into reusable materials, reducing landfill waste and supporting WA’s circular economy goals. This FAQ covers everything you need to know about SevenC’s Recycling, including how it works, what items are accepted, and how you can get involved.
What is SevenC’s Recycling Facility?
SevenC’s Recycling is a state-of-the-art textile recycling facility located in Rockingham, Western Australia. Designed to tackle the growing issue of textile waste, the facility will process unwanted fabrics and clothing into reusable materials for new products or industrial applications.
The facility is part of WA’s effort to reduce textile waste in landfills and promote sustainability as outlined in the Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Strategy 2030.
When Will the Facility Open?
The SevenC’s Recycling facility is set to start accepting textiles in early 2025. Once operational, it will provide accessible recycling solutions for businesses, schools, and residents across WA.
What Items Can Be Recycled?
The facility will accept a wide range of textiles, including:
Clothing (e.g., t-shirts, jeans, jackets)
Household fabrics (e.g., curtains, bed sheets, tablecloths)
Footwear and accessories (e.g., shoes, bags)
Textile scraps from manufacturing
Teddys and soft toys
Items must be clean and dry to ensure they can be processed effectively.
How Does SevenC’s Recycling Work?
The facility uses advanced mechanical recycling technology to break down textiles into reusable fibres. These fibres can then be used in the production of new clothing, industrial materials, or insulation products.
This closed-loop process ensures that valuable resources are conserved and reintroduced into WA’s economy.
Why is SevenC’s Recycling Important?
WA generates significant textile waste each year, with much of it ending up in landfills. Recycling textiles reduces greenhouse gas emissions, conserves resources like water and energy, and helps WA move towards a circular economy.
SevenC’s Recycling will also create local jobs, support sustainable businesses, and provide a solution for managing textile waste responsibly.
Who Can Use the Facility?
The facility will be accessible to:
Individuals and households
Local councils and community groups
Schools running textile recycling programs
Businesses and manufacturers
Collection points and bulk recycling options will make it easy for everyone to participate.
How Can I Get Involved?
You can get involved by:
Dropping off textiles at designated collection points once the facility launches
Encouraging local businesses or schools to participate in recycling programs
Spreading awareness about the importance of textile recycling
How Does This Compare to Other Waste Solutions?
Textile recycling is more sustainable than waste-to-energy or landfill disposal. Unlike incineration, which destroys resources, SevenC’s Recycling focuses on recovery and reuse, ensuring materials stay in circulation.
It aligns with WA’s waste hierarchy, which prioritises recycling as the best recovery method for textiles.
What Are the Environmental Benefits?
Recycling textiles offers numerous environmental benefits, including:
Reducing landfill waste and associated greenhouse gas emissions
Conserving natural resources like water and energy
Minimising pollution from textile production
