Eslando is a B2B marketplace that connects textile waste sellers (collectors, sorters, traders, waste manager, manufacturers, etc) with buyers (mechanical/chemical recyclers, open-end spinners, re-use operators).
Collectors, sorters, recyclers, brands, corporates, manufacturers, traders, etc . We verify organisations before enabling their profile.

Yes. Organisations form anywhere in the world can join Eslando marketplace. Duties, taxes and import restrictions remain the buyer/seller’s responsibility.
We recommend a minimum of 5 tonnes per lot to get started—this improves shipping economics and matches buyer demand. Typical trial sizes are 1–5 tonnes for domestic buyers and around full a 40′ container for overseas buyers (≈17-25 tonnes by weight*). After successful trials, buyers often scale to steady, recurring supply.
You can still:
List and invite enquiries for consolidation (combine similar materials into one shipment), or
Offer samples and indicate when you expect to reach buyer’s minimum (e.g., within 30 days).
Note: Sub-tonne lots usually clear only for specialty/high-value materials or nearby buyers due to logistics costs.

Using the marketplace
Sellers create a listing with material type, composition, colour, contamination notes, bale/packaging, quantity, location, price/terms, photos and lab data (if any). Buyers can inquire, request samples, or make offers.
Demands let buyers post a “wanted” ad so Eslando can match them to suitable supply fast. You create a Demand, specify requirements (material and form, composition/colour, quantity and timing, ship-to, Incoterms, target price), and add restrictions such as maximum moisture/contaminants and required certifications.
