TEXAID has signed an agreement with the Swedish recycling company Renewcell so that some of the collected used textiles that are no longer wearable can be further processed using a chemical recycling process. With this TEXAID is taking another step in its efforts to close the textile cycle permanently.
Since the beginning of November 2020, TEXAID, in cooperation with Odlo, has been offering an in-store used textile collection in around 30 shops in Switzerland, Germany and Austria.
When companies purchase new corporate wear for their employees, the question arises as to what should happen to the existing collection. Swisscom has decided to hand over its worn-out uniforms to TEXAID for environmentally sound recycling.
