Textile Reuse & Recycling Strategy
Innovative Consulting
Practical Support for the UK Textile Reuse Sector
The textile reuse and recycling sector is facing increasing pressure from changing consumer behaviour, falling reuse quality, rising operational costs and evolving regulatory requirements.
Dungate Consultancy works with charities, local authorities and textile operators to provide practical, commercially grounded support across textile reuse, recycling strategy and operational development.
Founded by Dawn Dungate, with over 20 years’ experience in the waste and textiles sector – including 15 years leading large-scale textile reuse operations – the consultancy is built on operational experience, not theory.
We help organisations improve systems, respond to changing market conditions and prepare for the future of reuse and recycling in the UK.
