TEXAID is one of the leading companies for textile recycling in Europe. With around 1,100 employees, we sort and process more than 80,000 tons of textile waste in our own sorting and manufacturing plants every year. The plants are located in Switzerland, Germany, Bulgaria, Hungary and Spain, as well as in the USA. More than 16,000 TEXAID containers serve as collection points for the used textiles.
The textile industry contributes a significant share of annual global greenhouse gas emissions, making it an essential sector in the fight against climate change. By giving a second life to textiles through reuse or recycling, TEXAID plays a key role in decarbonizing the industry’s footprint and transforming textiles into a more sustainable resource.
Furthermore, the textile circularity industry is at the start of a seismic shift elicited by several major forces:
- Changes in regulations that demand increasing collection and intra-European textile waste management.
- Technological innovations that will make both sorting and textile-to-textile recycling economical and scalable.
- A growing secondhand market and rising consumer demand are increasing the resale value.
With years of experience and our expertise and strength lying at the core of textile circularity, we will make TEXAID the European leader in textile circularity with the ambition to grow our business more than 10-fold until 2030. We will accomplish this by expanding our collection and sorting capacities and investing in next-generation technology to boost sustainable textile use.
