Fashion Brand & Retail Collection

Custom B2B solutions for fashion brands and retailers

As extended producer responsibility (EPR) for textiles is being introduced in various countries, it becomes essential for fashion brands and retailers to take action.

Efforts must be made to meet the various objectives set by legislation, as this is considered a crucial step in the transition towards a circular industry.

These objectives can partly be achieved by increasing collection points. Offering consumers the opportunity to return used clothing can strengthen brand identity and raise sustainability awareness.

In addition, implementing so-called take-back systems creates the opportunity to share data with stakeholders regarding sustainability efforts, textile collection, sorting, and recycling.

Together with Erdotex Group, these systems can be implemented as multichannel solutions, meaning that collection can take place both online and offline, with tailor-made in-store collection points that fit seamlessly within your retail concept.

To close the loop, large volumes of discarded goods must be processed after collection. Erdotex Group operates a network of sorting facilities across multiple countries to ensure proper sorting.

Through the integration of both MangoStone and EPS systems, all textiles can be fully tracked during collection, sorting, and final destination for recycling or reuse.

With both manual and automated sorting capabilities, products can be supplied to certified recycling companies and second-hand markets.

For damaged products with high value, Erdotex Group operates repair workshops where items can be repaired or redesigned into different products, adding a unique sustainability value.

Custom B2B solutions for fashion brands and retailers are one of the core activities within the subsidiaries of the Erdotex Group.

Pre-consumer textiles

In addition to post-consumer textiles and shoes, Erdotex Group also offers solutions for pre-consumer goods. These may include retail overstock, consumer returns, or production defects.

Within our network of stakeholders, decisions can be made regarding whether reuse is possible for these new garments. In addition, the appropriate recycling partner can be selected after collection and sorting.

In combination with the take-back system described above, these solutions complete the circular approach for each brand or retail organization.

Destroying textiles is no longer acceptable in today’s world.

EPR systems for textiles are being introduced in more and more EU countries. As Erdotex Group, we see it as our responsibility to achieve the objectives set within these systems and countries.

These objectives often differ per country, but in general, collection rates must increase, textiles must be diverted from residual waste, local processing should be maximized, and circular recycling must be optimized.

These objectives are fully aligned with how our Group operates.

Through our years of experience and expertise, we support various EPR organizations across multiple EU countries in achieving these objectives.

Additionally, our digital systems provide highly effective and transparent reporting on collection, processing, and final destination.
