Keeping valuable resources in use
We offer a range of services that help your customers prolong the lifetime of their purchased products, while helping you to re-use materials and reduce waste.
Local returns
With our local returns services, you can shorten the entire returns process and also reduce your transport costs and emissions. Using our local and regional teams, we can take care of everything – from grading to resale or recycling.

Grading
We offer a local grading service that can classify sub-standard items and send non-sellable materials for local recycling or reprocessing. -
Refunding
When an item has been returned and graded, we can make sure your customers get their money back straight away. -
Stain removal
If an item is returned with a stain, we can remove this so it can be sold once again. -
Repair
Very often apparel can be kept in use with simple alterations and repair. We work with a number of local and regional partners to offer repairs that can keep your products in use and extend the lifetime of a product. -
Recycling
Once an item has reached the end of its lifetime with a consumer, it can still be reused and recycled. We work with local and regional partners who can, depending the composition of your products, separate the item into different types of material ready for reuse and recycling.
Personalisation and tailor-made services
Do your customers want their products gift-wrapped or personalised? Improve the customer experience with our personalisation services.
