Sustainable Cities and Communities

By diverting 100% of the textile waste we handle from landfills, to be reused and recycled, we are making cities greener and cleaner.

Responsible Consumption and Production

We try to foster circularity in the apparel & textile industry by improving resource efficiency and making the entire life cycle of every piece of fabric we handle a true loop.

Climate Action

We divert textile waste away from landfills and give it a second life by reintroducing it back into the value chain through the channelling of resources.

Partnerships for the goals

We are committed to creating impact at scale through collaborative action. We do this actively by building partnerships with stakeholders across the industry and the globe for people, planet and profit!
