R World
About Us
The R Collective is a social impact business in London and Hong Kong, born in 2017,
to end fashion waste by rescuing, reusing and recycling fashion waste.
We are a collective team of highly-experienced fashion professionals
from design to finance with a united goal of creating a world-changing
circular fashion system that reduces waste and pollution, with our sister charity, Redress.
Putting waste back to work
We work alongside top fashion brands and manufacturers to end fashion waste.
We reuse and recycle their luxury fabrics. One dumper truck of textile waste
is landfilled or incinerated every second, polluting our planet - from air, soil
to oceans*. Let’s change the world.
REUSE
R Products
We rescue, reuse and recycle luxury textile and leather waste from global leading
fashion businesses to create a variety of responsible corporate products and packaging
for our global corporate partners.
RECYCLE
R Textiles
We rescue and recycle complex IP sensitive fabrics and garments in collaboration with our global leading
luxury brand partners to provide recycling and circular product solutions.
As of February 2024, we have wrapped up R Fashion to concentrate intensely on our impactful work in R Products and R Circular Textiles.

Our team found each other!
We are a group of fashion professionals - from sourcing to production, marketing to finance –
dedicated to addressing fashion waste, with a circular system of reuse, repurpose, recycle.
We were inspired into life through the work of our sister charity, Redress,
which has the mission to accelerate the transition towards a circular economy by educating designers and consumers so as to reduce clothing’s
negative impacts.
We collaborate with Redress to magnify lasting change.
