In 2016, ClearCycle was born.

Powering the circular economy
We’re on a mission to enable retailers of all sizes to access and benefit from the circular economy. Traditional linear retail models cannot continue if we are to reach net zero targets and protect our planet. Yet the transition for retailers can be extremely beneficial, if correctly executed.
Better for the planet
We only dispose of a tiny percentage of goods we handle, with the rest being given a second (or third, or forth) life and staying out of landfill. Furthermore, our operation is a structured in a way that minimises carbon generation.
Our guiding principles
Circularity
The future of retail is circular. Our commitment to enabling the circular transition drives our strategic thinking at every stage.
Partnership
We work in partnership with our clients to drive circular success. When they win, we do.
Value
We believe that as well as being good for retailers and the planet, the value proposition to consumers for refurbished goods is incredibly strong, and this will underpin the long term transition to a truly circular world.
