Our Mission
Protecting brands. Repurposing textiles for good.
At Protectex™, we believe organisations should not have to choose between protecting their brand and acting responsibly.
Our mission is to provide secure and compliant solutions for managing branded and sensitive textiles whilst maximising opportunities for responsible material recovery. By combining brand protection with sustainable outcomes, we help organisations reduce risk, support environmental objectives and ensure end-of-life textiles are managed with care.
As part of Roberts Group International’s wider commitment to Repurposing Textiles For Good, Protectex™ plays a vital role in helping businesses manage textile assets responsibly whilst maintaining the highest standards of security and accountability.
Explore our MissionThe PROTECTEX™ Process
Secure. Transparent. Accountable.
Every Protectex™ project follows a carefully managed process designed to provide confidence, traceability and peace of mind.
From the moment materials enter our care, every stage is managed through a structured process that prioritises security, compliance and responsible handling. Whether managing branded uniforms, obsolete merchandise or sensitive textile assets, our approach ensures materials are handled appropriately and removed from circulation securely.
Supported by certification, reporting and ongoing innovation, the Protectex™ Process provides organisations with complete visibility throughout the lifecycle of their project.
Discover the Protectex™ ProcessReporting & Transparency
Meaningful data. Measurable impact.
Modern organisations require more than confirmation that materials have been destroyed.
Protectex™ provides reporting and documentation designed to support sustainability teams, procurement professionals and compliance stakeholders with meaningful information about the management and recovery of textile assets.
From certificates of destruction and waste transfer documentation through to carbon reporting, material recovery data and ESG support, our reporting capabilities help organisations demonstrate accountability whilst supporting wider sustainability and governance objectives.
With enhanced reporting functionality and client portal access currently in development, we continue to invest in greater transparency and data visibility for our customers.

Through research, collaboration and material development initiatives, we are exploring opportunities that extend far beyond traditional disposal methods.
From insulation and acoustic applications to construction materials and textile-to-board technologies, our innovation programme is focused on unlocking new possibilities for recovered textile fibres and supporting the transition towards a more circular future.

Not all textiles are suitable for reuse.
For many organisations, branded uniforms, workwear, merchandise and other sensitive textile assets continue to carry value long after they have reached the end of their useful life. These materials represent brands, intellectual property, reputation and public trust.
Protectex™ was developed by Roberts Group International as a specialist service dedicated to the secure management and destruction of these assets.
Combining brand protection, compliance, reporting and responsible material recovery, Protectex™ provides organisations with a dedicated solution designed specifically for sensitive textiles where security and accountability matter.
