Polyester blends, including poly-cotton, are common in uniforms and workwear and are accepted alongside pure cotton. We destroy blended textiles beyond reuse, close the job with a photo-documented Certificate of Destruction, and sort by fiber so the recoverable portion is routed to recycling rather than the whole load being landfilled.

Overview

Handling polyester blends

Blends are harder to recycle than pure cotton, so sorting matters: we separate fiber types to recover what we can.

Destruction is documented the same way regardless of fiber content, with a Certificate of Destruction on every job.

Recyclability

Where this material goes

Blends are sorted; the recoverable fiber is routed to recycling and the balance is responsibly processed, rather than landfilling the whole garment.
