JMP Wilcox

At Wilcox, sustainability begins with reuse. As part of the circular economy, we see every garment as a valuable resource that deserves a second life. Our role is to keep textiles in circulation for as long as possible - reducing waste, conserving resources, and lowering the carbon impact of clothing.

All factory machinery is fitted with soft-start, energy-efficient motors and we’ve installed eco-friendly LED lighting to reduce our energy consumption. To use energy even more efficiently, our onsite transformer house incorporates Power Factor Correction (PFC).

We are is also committed to TEXTILES 2030, reporting collection volumes and resources employed in the collection to further TEXTILES 2030 ambitions to improve the sustainability of clothing across its lifecycle.

Clothing demand more than doubled between 2000 and 2018, driven by the increased middle class, shorter fashion cycles and garment life.

For every 1 tonne of garments reused as opposed to directed to landfill, greenhouse gas emissions are reduced by 7 tonnes. Being sustainable and driving a real change towards clothing and ecological integrity is a huge focus for us.

We are Partners of Textiles 2030

Textiles 2030 is WRAP’s new ground-breaking, expert-led initiative, harnessing the knowledge and expertise of UK leaders in sustainability to accelerate the whole fashion and textiles industry’s move towards circularity and system change in the UK.

With an official launch in April 2021, the new voluntary agreement builds on the learning and success of the Sustainable Action Plan (SCAP 2020) and aims to engage the majority of UK fashion and textiles organisations in collaborative climate action.

End Destination

Wilcox processes and exports reclaimed materials to destinations all over the globe.

Around 90% of our products go overseas with the Wilcox brand in great demand in Africa, Asia & Eastern Europe

Wilcox... A Recognised Brand

The vast majority of recycled clothing is exported to locations where the Wilcox brand is widely recognised, and highly sought after. Wilcox strive to increase the demand for their products around the world by specially tailoring container loading lists for each destination.

This process ensures that customers receive the best quality, and most desirable goods, for wherever they choose to export

UK Products

While around ten percent of Wilcox’s output is supplied to customers within the UK, this share plays an essential role in supporting local reuse and recycling markets. Items not suitable for direct reuse are transformed into industrial wiping cloths, flock rags, and mixed felt materials – ensuring that every textile finds a new and valuable purpose.

Landfill

Just 0.2% of the reclaimed materials processed by the site end up in landfill. This is a figure that Wilcox constantly monitor and are determined to reduce to zero.
