Zero % to Landfill with SMI's Workwear Recycling Scheme

SMI is proud to be partnering with Race Recycling to enhance our Workwear Recycling Scheme and offer a truly simple and streamlined service which breathes new life into your old Workwear and PPE products.

Race Recycling provides a disposal solution for all our customers, aiming to recycling everything that passes through their recycling centres. Their greatest strength is the transparent approach they take to responsible recycling, providing our customers with the confidence that their garments and products are in good hands and positively impacting the environment. As one of largest companies in the market Race can offer our customers the opportunity to process a wider range of clothing and PPE products, removing any ‘smoke and mirrors’ and being up-front about the entire process.

Adopting the ‘Zero to landfill’ approach, Race aims to capture the most resource from the waste they collected. Promising our customers that zero products will go to landfill and 100% of recyclable products will be recycled with the remaining materials recovered.

One major benefit to this scheme is that our courier, DPD, now collect your boxes and deliver them straight to Race Recycling centres. This is a huge benefit to SMI, as our previous scheme required the boxes to go through our Distribution Centre in Fareham, where the contents of the boxes was deposited and securely stored in special bins before getting collected ready for disposal. With our new scheme this not only skips the middleman, giving our warehouse teams more time to focus on our customers orders, but it also reduces the number of deliveries and collections per order lowering the carbon emissions associated with this scheme.

Partner with us today, to be confident that your obsolete uniform and PPE is recycled in an ethical and sustainable way, without compromising the security of your brand.
