In response to the declining quality of textiles donations in charity shops, ELT has launched Project Swap. Every week, ELT collects over 25 tonnes of top-grade, reusable clothing, and up until last year , 100% was transported overseas.

More recently, ELT have been supplying some of our our charity shop partners with clothes for resale in their shops. Project Swap offers curated seasonal mixes in 25 kg bags, with selections for Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter. Each bag is filled with high-quality, in-demand items, ready for immediate supply.

This not only supports charities with reliable, high-quality stock but also keeps high-grade textiles within the UK second-hand market, reduces waste and our carbon footprint. Project ‘Swap’ is designed to help charity shops maintain product standards and continue supporting their communities

Non-Resalable Textiles (NTR) are a growing issue in the second-hand clothing sector, with thousands of tonnes of unsellable textiles collected weekly, much of which ends up in landfills or is incinerated.

NTRs include textiles that cannot be reused, recycled, or sold due to their condition, and handling them presents a complex challenge in waste management. ELT Global believes that government intervention is urgently needed to address this growing crisis. Solutions such as incentives for recycling innovations, stricter regulations on textile production (to reduce the +25% over manufacturing each year), and funding for more comprehensive waste management infrastructure could greatly benefit the industry.

As a company committed to sustainability, ELT is working to bring attention to the need for change and to develop partnerships that prioritize responsible textile disposal, keeping more textiles out of the waste stream and in circulation.

ELT Global stands out in the textile recycling industry for our complete approach to sustainable textile management, serving as a full-cycle collector, sorter, and grader. As experts in quality assurance, we not only collect textiles but thoroughly sort and grade each item. This process ensures textile is repurposed in the most effective way—whether through resale, upcycling or as industrial materials. This reduces the amount going to landfills and/ or what is incinerated. Knowing exactly where each item ends up means our clients can trust that their donations are handled responsibly, reducing waste and supporting a circular economy. Our careful grading also meets the specific needs of various markets around the world, aligning quality with demand to maximize each item’s lifespan. ELT’s end-to-end transparency and dedication to excellence in sorting make us a trusted partner in sustainable textile reuse.

In today’s interconnected world, the ability to cultivate strong international relationships is essential for businesses seeking to thrive in global markets. Whether you’re expanding your operations overseas or looking to establish partnerships with organizations in different countries, the process of building these relationships requires careful planning, cultural awareness, and effective communication.

Understand Cultural Differences: One of the first steps in building successful international relationships is to recognize and respect cultural differences. Different countries have unique customs, traditions, and communication styles that can impact business interactions. Take the time to research and understand the cultural norms of the countries you’re engaging with. For example, in some cultures, building personal relationships before discussing business matters is crucial, while in others, direct and concise communication is preferred.

Communicate Effectively: Effective communication is the cornerstone of any successful relationship, especially when crossing international borders. When communicating with partners or clients from different countries, language barriers, time zones, and cultural nuances can present challenges. It’s essential to be clear, concise, and respectful in your communication, taking care to avoid misunderstandings.

Build Trust and Credibility: Trust is the foundation of any successful relationship, and building trust takes time, effort, and consistency. In international business, establishing trust and credibility can be even more critical due to cultural and geographical distances. Transparency, honesty
