Novem Vitas recycles unwanted cotton clothing into bedding materials, then we donate those to families who need help setting up new homes. We are the operators of the Cotton Lives On™ in the UK, in collaboration with Cotton Incorporated, Cotton Council International and a range of clothing brands
What we do
Novem Vitas and our partners sort, shred and formulate recycled cotton so it can be made into high-quality natural bedding.
We sell excess material and this income funds our operations and the donation of new bedding to families in need. The bedding is highly durable and they can use it for years.
We work with charities but Novem Vitas is not a charity – it’s a limited company.

Donate products
Many clothing brands have cotton-rich goods they can no longer sell. It might be excess stock, damaged or soiled in storage, counterfeit or returned goods unfit for resale.
We recycle those products and make roll mats that are donated to social causes.
Our donations help resettled families to start a new life with dignity.
Contact us to find out how to donate your unwanted cotton products.
Individuals can donate too!
