Assembled Threads creates employment opportunities for refugee, asylum seeker, and migrant women in Australia and delivers circular economy solutions for uniforms and personal protective equipment. They use locally made fabrics and recycled materials to manufacture high-visibility safety vests, medical scrubs, work shirts, and other workwear. Assembled Threads diverts textile waste from landfills by recycling offcuts, providing end-of-life uniform recycling and upcycling services, and selling upcycled products through their online Retread shop. They recruit people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds who struggle to find employment due to limited language skills, workplace experience, or educational qualifications. Assembled Threads provides paid training and apprenticeships, ethical wage employment, and a safe, inclusive, and supportive workplace. Their manufacturing hubs are embedded in disadvantaged communities to ensure easy access for those most in need. Assembled Threads is a Social Traders Certified Social Enterprise and a member of Social Enterprise Network Victoria (SENVIC).
