Reducing the effects of textile waste, one thread at a time.
Reducing the effects of textile waste, one thread at a time.
Textile Recycling Partnerships are at the core of Symphony Textile’s mission to drive sustainability beyond collection. Our commitment continues through powerful collaborations that ensure every item we gather finds a renewed purpose. By partnering with Megapaca and Novafiber, we close the loop on textile waste—transforming what was once discarded into opportunity, livelihood, and long-term impact. Together, we’re proving that business can be both profitable and profoundly responsible.
Symphony Textile’s partnership with Megapaca lies at the heart of our reuse mission. Based in Central America, Megapaca operates one of the largest networks of secondhand retail stores in the region, with hundreds of locations across Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras. Their mission is to provide high-quality, affordable clothing to communities who need it most—while simultaneously generating jobs, stimulating local economies, and reducing landfill waste.
When our collection bins are emptied, the journey doesn’t stop there. We meticulously sort, clean, and bundle wearable items—everything from shoes to shirts to handbags—and prepare them for transport to Megapaca’s facilities. There, they are integrated into a sophisticated retail system designed to deliver sustainable fashion at scale. Megapaca is a pioneer in ethical secondhand commerce, promoting dignity and choice by offering consumers gently used goods at fair prices.
Through this partnership, Symphony Textile plays a direct role in reducing global textile waste, supporting economic development in underserved regions, and reinforcing the value of reuse over refuse. Every bin filled is another opportunity to clothe someone with dignity, extend the life of an item, and push back against the throwaway culture.
At Symphony Textile, we believe the best results come from strong, collaborative partnerships. Whether you’re looking for a trusted supplier, a creative problem solver, or a team that truly understands your goals, we’re here to help. Together, we can create high-quality solutions that bring your vision to life — and build a lasting relationship built on trust, innovation, and success.
Not every item we collect is wearable—but that doesn’t mean it goes to waste. That’s where our partnership with Novafiber comes in. A global leader in fiber recovery and textile recycling, Novafiber specializes in transforming non-resellable clothing and textile remnants into high-quality industrial fibers used across multiple industries—from automotive insulation to home goods and soundproofing materials. When garments can’t be reused, Symphony Textile routes them to Novafiber’s state-of-the-art processing facilities. There, items are mechanically shredded and refined, then reimagined into entirely new materials that re-enter the manufacturing ecosystem.
Novafiber is essential to our no-waste commitment. By creating industrial applications for discarded materials, they allow Symphony Textile to fulfill our promise of 100% material accountability. Nothing is lost. Everything is redirected—with purpose.
Together with Megapaca and Novafiber, Symphony Textile is creating a truly circular supply chain—one that benefits local businesses, global communities, and the planet itself. Whether through resale or recycling, each item entrusted to our bins avoids the landfill and becomes part of a much larger story: one of sustainability, equity, and innovation.
