Albany, NY · Textile recovery

Good textiles.
A new loop.

A local approach to clothing collection, sorting, and wholesale. We’re building connections between unwanted textiles in the Capital Region and their next use.

Now welcoming pilot-location and wholesale buyer inquiries.

The next life starts here

Local collection.
Thoughtful next steps.

Not every textile has the same future. Our pilot will test collection volumes, material quality, and buyer demand before we scale.

01 / COLLECT
Make room for what’s next.
Apartment communities, campuses, faith organizations, and businesses can help build a practical local collection network.

We’ll start with approved bags or containers at pilot locations. Placement, accepted materials, and collection arrangements are agreed in advance, with applicable approvals in place.

02 / SORT

Separate by potential.

Clothing, shoes, accessories, and household textiles are assessed for reusable stock, premium resale, or clean textile recovery. Acceptance depends on condition and processor requirements.

03 / RECIRCULATE

Connect materials with buyers.

We’re seeking wholesalers, secondhand distributors, and recycling processors. Lot specifications, minimum weights, pricing, and shipping terms will be confirmed before any sale.
