RECYCLED CLEANING CLOTH
Our U4B industrial cleaning cloth is for the environmentally conscious companies. The companies who
innovate their sector and are committed to the betterment of the eco system.
Our cleaning cloth uses absorbent material that is stitched by the community to provide much needed
work and the reduction in landfill waste. Every kilo you purchase of cleaning cloth, helps avoid up to 1.8kg of Green House Gases (GHG)
For the companies who are getting on board with this movement, we issue an Environmental impact certificate
from our ISO Certified, Zero Waste Textile recycling and processing partner, Australian Textiles Manufacturing Malaysia Sdn Bhd (ATMM) as well as a Certificate of Commitment for the Textiles & Household Environmental Stewardship Network.
You have the chance to join the solution and help prevent the pollution.

HOW ITS MADE
Lifeline Clothing Malaysia Sdn Bhd (LLCM) collect unwanted textiles in Malaysia. They do that through the many collection bins dotted around Malaysia but also by working closely with communities and holding events.
The Baju kurung used for this upcycling initiative, collected by LLCM, are mostly made from polyester, therefore making it difficult to recycle, hence the birth of U4B upcycled baju bags.
Australia Textiles Manufacturing Malaysia Sdn Bhd (ATMM) sorts the used textiles into over 500 different categories in Port Klang, Malaysia.
Every week they receive tonnes of absorbent material which can then be manufactured into cleaning cloth.
Due to the type of the fabric used, it makes it easier for our cutters and sewers to work with and helps us offer consistency.
Australian Textiles Manufacturing Malaysia. (ATMM) is the only ISO-certified textile processing company in Malaysia that has a manufacturing license. ATMM cuts the material into conveniently sized patterns and uses the scraps from the cut material to fill inside the inner cloth. This helps to reduce waste and prolongs the longevity of the cleaning cloth, but also ensures that the cleaning cloth is more padded.
The cleaning cloth material will go through a metal detector before leaving the factory
We have agreements in place with academies, home sewers, sewing schools and members of the B40 class in Malaysia for them to stitch and make cleaning cloth.
This means that with your purchase, you are supporting an everyday person who can then in turn, support their family. Due to its simplistic design, even inexperienced sewers have an opportunity to hone their skills and generate an income for their family.
