What is Textile Destruction & Clothing Shredding?

Textile destruction is the secure shredding or maceration of clothing, fabrics, uniforms and branded textiles to make them unrecognizable and unusable. This service is essential for brands and manufacturers to protect their designs, logos and IP from copies, fakes or resale.

Typical items we destroy include: - Branded uniforms and workwear (to prevent unauthorized use) - End-of-line stock and overstock garments - Faulty or rejected clothing from production lines - Prototypes, samples and design rejects - Branded bags, accessories and promotional textiles - Any fabric or garment with logos, prints or trademarks

Our process ensures **100% destruction** – textiles are shredded into small fibres, often recycled into insulation or filler, aligning with UK sustainability regulations.
