Get It Right with Undercover Architect Textile recycling for your renovation or new build, with UPPAREL
Hello! This is Episode 333, and in it, I’m sharing information about an amazing company that’s Australia’s leader in textile recovery and recycling.
UPPAREL, based in Melbourne, Victoria, is a BCorp Certified company, and is an award-winning leader in textile recovery and recycling, providing convenient solutions to textile waste for both consumers and businesses.

UPPAREL first came onto my radar when previous podcast guest, Joost Bakker, shared some of their incredible products on social media.
As Joost is super passionate about zero waste products, he was at the UPPAREL Factory and showing the panels being made from recycled textiles, and it was amazing to see the process and the volume of waste UPPAREL are able to recycle. Waste that would normally go to landfill.
So, I knew I wanted to get UPPAREL on the podcast, and put them on your radar, as i think there’s some really exciting opportunities and options about how their products could be used in various applications for your project.
So, in this episode, I’m speaking with Riley Aickin who is the Partnerships & UPtex Manager at Upparel.
Riley is going to take us through how UPPAREL turns textile waste into a huge range of products we can use in our homes, from pet bedding all the way through to acoustic panelling and site signage.
And given that Australia has just overtaken the USA as the world's largest consumer of textiles globally, and on average Australians purchase 27kg of new textiles and then discard around 23kg into landfill annually … UPPAREL is responding to a huge problem we have here.
