Today’s linear system of «take – make – waste» needs to change. New textiles are produced, used and discarded instead of putting them to a second use. The production of new textiles requires limited resources that are limited, and the current system has a significant negative impact on our planet. The transition to a circular system, where garments are kept in use for longer, is an opportunity to harness untapped potential around customer loyalty, economic growth, and ecological sustainability.

A Take-Back System Designed for Retail Locations

Enhance your sustainability goals by taking responsibility for products at the end-of-use phase.

TEXAID offers brands the opportunity to run an In-Store take-back system which allows your customers to easily deposit used clothing and shoes in boxes provided in your retail locations. Those boxes are sent to a TEXAID facility where they are sorted based on up to 300 different criteria and in accordance with the EU Waste Hierarchy, diverting them to most sustainable next use possible.
