Textile-Waste Collection System
We work with waste collection partners to recover post-consumer textile waste from households and community drives, creating new income opportunities while channeling the collected textiles to our Textile Recovery Facility.
Textile Waste Sorting Systems
Our Textile Recovery Facility provides direct employment to skilled staff who sort post-consumer textiles by quality, material, and color. This creates jobs, enables systematic sorting, and opens value-added opportunities.
Women Livelihoods & Direct Jobs
Our textile waste recovery projects create sustainable employment and build local capacity in textile waste management. They provide stable livelihoods for waste collection partners while textile sorting and recycling generate direct jobs, especially for women.
Textile Waste Processing & Recycling
At our Textile Recovery Facility, sorted textile waste is directed into upcycling and downcycling activities. Textiles in reusable condition are shared with local communities, while fabric-to-fabric recyclable waste is sent for specialized textile recycling.
Complete End-to-End Traceability
Our platform provides complete transparency throughout the recovery process. Every step is tracked and verified through our proprietary system for achieving Textile Neutral certification.

About Us
Textile Neutral Collective is an initiative of Green Worms, a social business with over a decade of experience tackling waste and poverty by creating dignified jobs in rural and island communities.
Post-consumer textile waste is one of the most complex streams we manage, with limited recycling technologies and high costs. If we keep waiting decades for breakthroughs and commercialization, textile waste will only continue to pile up.
To bridge this gap, we launched the Textile Neutral Collective, enabling fashion brands to take immediate action through the Textile Neutral certificate and label, while building capacity for long-term textile waste management and recycling. Textile Neutrality ensures more effective waste management, which means more jobs, stronger infrastructure, and a market prepared for advanced textile recycling as new technologies evolve. We are already fixing it. Now it’s your turn to accelerate. Learn more about Green Worms at Greenworms.org.
