\"\"TRUST \u2013 Trader Recycling Universal Standard<\/b><\/h3>\n

A certification for traders in second hand clothing, textiles and household products<\/p>\n

Why choose a TRUST certified trader?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Confidently choose a reputable partner<\/b><\/p>\n

TRUST<\/b>\u00a0is improving and maintaining standards within the recycling sector. By choosing a\u00a0TRUST<\/b>\u00a0certified trader you can be confident they have been through a rigorous auditing process benchmarking them against the best industry practices and regulatory guidelines.<\/p>\n

Safeguard your reputation<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

TRUST<\/b>\u00a0certified traders are independently audited to ensure they are following best practice and regulatory guidelines. This protects the reputations of those working with them.<\/p>\n

Join the movement<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

TRUST\u00a0<\/b>has the full support of The Charity Retail Association, as well as over 3,700 charity shops across the United Kingdom who have committed to only trade with\u00a0TRUST<\/b>\u00a0certified organisations.<\/p>\n

Meet your sustainability goals<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

The inclusion of waste in exports is a huge environmental problem for this industry.\u00a0 TRUST requires companies that export used goods to demonstrate that they are segregating and responsibly disposing of waste.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s completely free<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

All the costs of auditing are passed onto the merchants, so it is completely free to commit to working with\u00a0TRUST<\/b>\u00a0certified traders.<\/p>\n

We do the audits and background checks so you don\u2019t have to!<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
