Workwear brand Regatta Professional, part of the Regatta Group, has partnered with not-for-profit organisation The Circular Textiles Foundation (CTF) and Project Re:claim to unveil a new Recycle.me range for men and women – the next step in sustainability for the textile industry.
In 2021, around 711,000 tonnes of used textiles were discarded in the household bin and in general waste containers at Household Waste Recycling Centres. (WRAP, 2024)
The Recycle.me five-piece uniform collection includes a thermal jacket, bodywarmer, softshell, fleece, and polo in two versatile colourways, and will launch in May 2026. The range brings together Regatta Professional’s decades of expertise in designing high-quality, durable clothing with CTF’s ‘Infinitee’ certification mark, providing third party assurance that each garment has been designed to be recycled. The collection supports the return of materials back into the supply chain, extending product life and maximising long-term value.
As an industry leading brand awarded CTF certification, Regatta Professional has launched a take back scheme to prevent the Recycle.me garments ending up in landfill or incineration. With less than 1% of clothing in the UK currently being recycled back into textiles, Regatta Professional is going one-step further than simply using recycled materials. (Source: European Parliament)
By partnering with Salvation Army Trading Company (SATCoL), Recycle.me products at the end of their life, can be returned via Regatta Professionals’ brand-new takeback scheme operated by SATCoL with a simple online returns portal available across the UK and Northern Ireland.
Regatta Professional’s Recycle.me range uses 100% polyester mono-fibre fabric and trims that ensure it can be recycled through Project Re:claim – the ground-breaking joint venture between SATCoL and leading sustainable corporate wear specialists Project Plan B. Project Re:claim is the UK’s first polyester mechanical recycler designed for fibre to fibre recycling.
Anthony Haber, Managing Director Regatta Professional, said:
“As a business, we’ve dedicated time and resource to ensure Recycle.me is a lifelong success and a model for the industry in working to reduce waste and return useful materials back into the supply chain. Our work with CTF began last year in a first step to be awarded their expert certification and has led to a joint venture we’re incredibly proud to be spearheading.
“Recycle.me marks an important milestone for us, but it is only the beginning. We are excited about building a long-term partnership with everyone involved as we continue working together to drive meaningful progress and create lasting positive change across the UK textiles industry.”
Recycle.me is available from regattaprofessional.com from May 2026.
