Each year, the Swiss Environmental Foundation presents an environmental award to individuals, companies and organisations that have made a particular effort to preserve the environment. TEXAID is one of the companies nominated for this year's environmental award in the area of mobility and economy in recognition of its commitment to the efficient, low-emission collection of used textiles over the years. With the help of TEXAID’s self-developed computer-aided logistics systems,TEXAID vehicles can find the fastest routes to their destinations throughout Switzerland. Trains are used to transport goods over longer distances whenever possible.

The award ceremony will take place in the Swiss Museum of Transport in Lucerne at 5 pm on 28 May 2015.
