The Second Life by BYROSH programme

Second Life by BYROSH programme for hotels and laundries

For hospitality and laundries. We don't just sell textiles: we also take care of recycling them.

Second Life by BYROSH was born of a conviction: a modern company is responsible not only for the quality of its products but also for their impact on the environment. The programme helps reduce textile waste and emissions, encourages responsible disposal, extends the life cycle of products and gives textiles a second life through reuse and recycling.

01 · The problem

Hotel textiles are almost never recycled

According to the waste management system analysis by the Balearic Government's Department of the Environment (Conselleria de Medio Ambiente de las Illes Balears), Mallorca's hotels discard thousands of tonnes of textiles every year, and less than 1% is recycled: most of it is incinerated.

02 · The solution

Our programme

Free collection

We offer hotels and similar establishments a sustainable solution: we collect the textiles they no longer need, such as sheets, towels and bed linen, free of charge.

In return, cooperation

Hotels and laundries commit to placing their future textile orders with BYROSH.

Positive impact

This agreement not only drives sustainable development: it also guarantees quality products and services that promote social responsibility and respect for the environment.

Textile recycling

All the textiles we collect from hotels and establishments are sent to specialist companies in Bangladesh, where they are sorted, recycled and turned into new products made from recycled material.

This model reduces pressure on landfill and pollution, and closes the textile loop: waste is transformed into useful resources for future consumption.

Tree planting at a Second Life partner hotel

Visible to your guests

Every participating hotel receives a personalised eco-label certifying its participation in the programme. We also plant a tree in a special area of the hotel, accessible to guests, as a symbol of commitment to sustainability and to raise awareness of the programme.

Why we need to protect nature

Emissions from incineration

Burning textiles generates greenhouse gases. According to the programme presentation, 10,000 tonnes of burned textiles produce up to 60,000 tonnes of CO₂.

Burial in landfill

Synthetic blends take decades to break down, and pure synthetics hundreds of years. Natural fabrics that rot without oxygen release methane, and dyes and finishes gradually seep into the soil and groundwater.
