From Landfills to Usefuls

From Landfills to Usefuls

Every year, thousands of kilos of textiles are thrown away and sent to landfill. Old towels, bed linens, and cotton fabrics from hotels, hospitals, and laundries are often seen as “end of life” products—destined for the bin. But at Coppermill Ltd, we see something different: opportunity.

Instead of letting these textiles go to waste, we collect, sort, and re-purpose them into high-quality cut cleaning rags that serve a new, practical purpose in workplaces, workshops, and households.

Saving Thousands of Kilos from Landfill

Each year, our recycling process diverts thousands of kilos of textiles away from landfills. This means less waste in the ground, lower disposal costs for businesses. By giving fabrics a second life, we contribute to a more circular economy—where nothing is wasted, and everything has value.

Why Towelling, Linen & Cotton?

The materials we collect—towelling, linen, and cotton—are perfect for reuse. They’re durable, absorbent, and soft enough to handle delicate cleaning tasks. Instead of being discarded, they’re cut into rags of practical sizes and ready for use in a variety of industries, from automotive workshops to janitorial services.

From Waste to Worth

What makes this process powerful is its simplicity. A towel that once lived in a hotel bathroom doesn’t need to be destroyed—it just needs a new role. By turning it into a cleaning rag, it avoids landfill, reduces the demand for virgin materials, and provides businesses with an affordable, sustainable cleaning solution.
