We’re here for good, before & after.

After is Australia and New Zealand’s first textile recycling pick-up service where recycling means rewarding sustainability with every collection.

Born in Melbourne in mid-2021, we now offer textile waste collection across New Zealand, and thanks to some fantastic conscious in ANZ businesses - proudly give back to fellow do-gooders along the way!

Our Story.

In 2021, Yesha, a former fast fashion enthusiast and brand new Melbournian from New Zealand, embarked on the gruesome task of decluttering her long-neglected wardrobe. As she sought ethical and sustainable ways to part with her well-worn, non-donatable clothes (“unwearables”), she was pursuing her Masters of Entrepreneurship at the University of Melbourne.

It was during this time that the idea for After was born. Frustrated by the lack of an accessible, eco-friendly disposal solution, Yesha set out with the intention to combat the adverse environmental impacts of improper textile waste disposal.

Kicking off with a few small rounds of local collections, Yesha quickly realised the intense demand for a sustainable alternative.

Since inception, After has been committed to ensuring that all textile waste is disposed of in a manner that continues to support, not hinder the ongoing efforts to address the climate crisis.
