Old Uniforms, New Purpose

Every Bunnings uniform has a story. From helping customers tackle DIY projects to supporting local communities, our team uniforms are part of thousands of everyday moments across Australia and New Zealand.

But the story doesn't end when a uniform is retired.

Through our uniform recycling programme, end-of-life uniforms are collected and diverted from landfill, helping give valuable materials a second life.

Textile fibres are transformed into products like carpet underlay, insulation, industrial rags, acoustic materials.

It's a simple idea with a powerful outcome: taking something that has already served one purpose and creating opportunities for it to serve another.

"The green apron may come off, but the journey doesn't end there. By recycling old uniforms, we're helping turn yesterday's workwear into tomorrow's resources."

For our team members, it's an easy way to contribute to a more sustainable future. For our business, it's another step towards reducing waste and embracing more circular solutions
