Drapers explores how SATCoL's corporate partnerships drive lasting change to reduce textile waste. Discover the latest innovation in textile recycling: from collecting waste through 892 clothing collection banks at ASDA to recycling at Europe’s first polyester recycling facility in Northamptonshire, in partnership with Project Plan B. What powers SATCoL's pioneering Fibersort™ technology, which sorts textiles by fibre and colour, and what does the future hold for charitable donations?

Salvation Army Trading CompanySalvation Army Trading Company Limited (SATCoL), is the trading arm of The Salvation Army, raising money for charity through nationwide reuse and repurposing schemes. Each year we divert more than 250 million items to good causes. We pride ourselves on being the largest charity owned textiles collector in the UK, working with green initiatives at the centre of our business to actively combat climate change. We are helping to redesign fashion with an advanced sorting facility and innovative donation partnerships and schemes. We help to reduce the demand by utilising end of life products and repurposing more than 65,000 tonnes of textiles each year. The profit SATCoL raises is given to The Salvation Army to continue to support the great work they do for people in need. In the last 10 years alone, we have donated more than £100 million to help the charity's work in communities across the UK.
