In 1993, having been appalled at how a few unscrupulous ‘rag men’ were taking advantage of reputable charities, business entrepreneurs Craig Marsh and Laurie Ellis set up Retrograde Limited. Their aim was to create an ethical business that would allow non-governmental organisations to dispose of their textile waste in the most profitable yet environmentally friendly way possible. After a decade of rapid growth, Retrograde were providing services for many of the UK’s leading charity retail chains, local authorities and businesses. The operation has expended the range of materials that could be recycled to include various plastics, metals and electronics.
 

…I have been highly impressed with the professional and innovative solutions put forward by Retrograde and their willingness to listen to our problems/concerns and provide answers and service down to individual shop level.
