As of September 2020, TEXAID, in cooperation with ETERNA, is offering in-store used textile collection in around 50 shops throughout Switzerland, Germany and Austria. ETERNA customers will be able to return their used clothes.

Taking responsibility - even beyond the useful life
With the take-back of used textiles in selected shops, ETERNA wants to make it as easy as possible for its customers to act sustainably and in a resource-saving manner. Everyone who returns used textiles in ETERNA shops receives a voucher.

Re-use before recycling
Textiles that are still wearable will be sold as second-hand clothing. Resources, chemicals and energy can be saved by reusing these textiles. Textiles that are no longer wearable or damaged will be recycled. These will be reused as cleaning cloths or as insulation materials. Textiles that cannot be reused or recycled will be thermally recovered.
