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 US. 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 increased 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 increase resale value
With years of experience and our strength lying at the core of textile circularity, we will leverage these opportunities to make TEXAID the European leader in textile circularity until 2030. This will be realized by expanding our collection and sorting capacities and investing in next generation technology to boost sustainable textile use.
Texaid’s Retail business unit operates one of the largest secondhand clothing chains in Germany with 70+ stores and online shops across four brands (ReSales, Vintage Revival, McVintage and carou).
