Introduction

Established in 1993, TIC International Ltd embarked on a textile recycling project. Within three years TIC's goods became highly sought after for the African, Middle Eastern and Asian markets. Soon TIC had orders 3 months in advance, and this continues to the present day.

Based in Birmingham, in the heart of England, TIC employs over 45 people and collects used clothing from across the UK. We have an exclusive agreement with Islamic Relief, TIC's parent company, to collect donated clothing. We also buy goods directly or indirectly from other UK charities.

One of TIC's main objectives is to reduce the massive quantities of used clothing currently being dumped as waste in the UK. We plan to coordinate our efforts with other environmental agencies to increase recycling, and reduce dumping into the waste stream.

Over the last 12 months TIC's production has nearly doubled due to our relocation to newly refurbished 30,000 sq ft warehouses. TIC is currently sorting over 50,000 kilos of clothing every week, and further expansion is planned.

Quality never Compromised

Despite increased production we have been able to maintain high quality levels for all our customers. We remain the UK's no. 1 quality supplier for West African and Pakistani clothing.

TIC has earned its reputation for ethical business practices and strict quality control. As a result our customers trust us to procure goods from other suppliers in the US, UK and Europe, generating 10% of our income.

We look forward to becoming a major force in reducing waste and improving the environment in the textile recycling industry.

Finally, we would like to thank our business partners who have given us support in achieving our aims and objectives.
