RCA Member Spotlight – Blenderz Garments

The RCA is advancing a circular economy in the province of Alberta. As a non-profit, charitable organization, we accomplish our goals by working collaboratively with and for our members and partners. This month, the RCA is proud to spotlight one of its members – Blenderz Garment Recyclers.

Blenderz Garment Recyclers is a zero waste, zero export, textile recycling company in Edmonton, Alberta. They reclaim and recycle textiles deemed unsellable by thrift stores, charities, the general public, and businesses. Blenderz takes a zero-waste, no landfill approach while making the materials available to communities, businesses and Individuals. They use a mixture of solutions to keep textiles from the traditionally linear supply chain stream and recycle them in a closed-loop system. 

What products and services does Blenderz offer?

Pay by the Pound: In-person shopping. Blenderz Garment Recyclers sorts out the good stuff (because there is still a lot of that) and they offer it at a really low cost to the community.

Delivery Boxes: Clothing is packed up by garment size and delivered for no delivery fee. They just want to help get these garments back into the community.

Craft kits: For everything that is not ready to wear, they remake materials into kits for Footstool Poufs, Rag rug kits, and Potholder rug Kits.

Classes: They invite people into their warehouse to teach them how to reclaim textiles.
