Company mission
To be the leading enabler of the fashion industry's circular economy in the UK and Europe by providing third-party & reverse logistics (3PL+RL) fulfillment services sustainably.
Our take
The fashion industry is one of the leading contributors to pollutants in the world. ACS is a sustainable fashion brand, providing repair, cleaning, and rental services to online monthly subscription clothing brands. This allows brands and retailers with a profitable, circular solution that extends the life of clothing and diverts textile waste from landfills.
The company’s sophisticated IT system scans each garment that comes in and out, tracking its progress through its specially developed enhanced cleaning process, eliminating odours while also killing bacteria and viruses.
In addition to financial backing from Scottish Enterprise, the company received generous government grant funding to accelerate its journey to become a net zero company. The influx of capital has also allowed ACS to manage increasing volumes of garments as the fashion enterprise continues to grow on a global scale.
