Power In Partnership

At The R Collective, we know we can’t achieve our mission alone. As a small social impact business on a big mission, we reach far-flung places and tackle complex waste streams through the power of partnership.

From Hong Kong and mainland China to Vietnam and the UK, we collaborate with global fashion brands, recyclers, innovators and industry pioneers who share our belief that waste isn’t an end - it’s a beginning.

It Takes a Village to Rethink Fashion

Behind every R Product is a community of experts, innovators and doers who make circularity possible.

“We’re passionate about upholding unwanted materials to their highest value, through recycling using the best available partners and supply chains. We have incredible recycling partners in various countries, and through collaboration, which is always at the heart of what we do, we’re working with some of the world’s leading luxury businesses to weave a new, more sustainable story for fashion.” - Kay Liu, Circular Textiles Lead at The R Collective.

Why Local Networks Matter

We believe that real impact starts locally. Every region tells a different story - with its own culture, complexities and opportunities to make change. Local partners help us navigate with insight and respect. 

Working on the ground means building solutions that last longer, cutting transport emissions and making circularity more truly circular.

That’s why local partners aren’t just collaborators; they’re the backbone of turning waste into opportunity.

The R Network in Action

We turn this into opportunity. By working with luxury brands and premium manufacturers in each of their local regions we rescue excess materials - as well as IP-sensitive waste  - and give them a purposeful second life.

Through both long-term and ad-hoc partnerships with brands, manufacturers, process verification experts and recyclers we look to form relationships with those who help us get one step closer to bringing the circular economy to life.
