Waste into Resource
FABCYCLE is a collection service of textile waste. We work directly with fashion designers, schools and apparel manufacturers to collect their fabric waste and find the best way to divert it from the landfill.
The pickups are limited at the moment to Metro Vancouver however if you're interested in the service outside our coverage area, please contact us directly.
We work primarily with organizations that have either a larger amount of textile waste (scraps, off-cuts, damages etc) or a consistent flow of textile waste (swatches or samples).
To get more information about our service or to schedule a pickup please contact us below.
Collect
We'll collect your fabric waste directly from your facility. Bins, reusable bags and signage are provided per demand.
What we collect: scraps, off-cuts, swatches, samples and end of rolls.
Sort
Once the materials are collected and taken to our warehouse, our team sorts through the bags to find the fabrics that can be ReUSED (our main goal) and only as second option, be recycled.
Divert
ReUSE first // We welcome artists, crafters and creative minds to experiment with textile waste to circulate these materials back into use.
Recycle //Â If materials cannot be ReUSED, we'll make sure they are industrially recycled.
