Our Operation
From cleaning, sanitisation, repairs, and reverse logistics.

ACS has advanced ozone cleaning capabilities which remove 99.9% of bacteria, odour, and unwanted germs from up to 45,000 garments at a time.
Any items with particularly stubborn stains are sent to our dedicated spot cleaning stations, before undergoing a wet or dry clean cycle.
After garments are satisfactorily cleaned, and if they require, we have the facilities to repair your returns back to a saleable quality with an 84% recovery rate overall which keeps the vast majority of your returns in the loop and diverts waste from landfill
Our Advanced Clothing Solutions
Our standard returns process has been successful for leading online retailers, where we have identified a gap in the market.
We now offer the extra support to add digitisation to the returns package as an optional extra.
ACS have invested in a photography studio and in-house photographer. ACS can now process returns and have them go straight from our final quality checks straight to our dedicated photography team.
The team can photograph items based on your specific requirements, and edit and upload them to your chosen platform autonomously. So that you can rest assured that the unwanted returns can find their way into the next generation of consumer.
