Changemakers for a desirable future

2024 was a year of acceleration for our programs and support measures to best meet the needs of the stakeholders in our industry.

Building on our 2023–2028 accreditation, Refashion continued to deploy its operational missions and strengthened its support levers to achieve its ambitious goals: increasing collection, scaling up sorting, developing reuse, industrializing recycling, and promoting repair.

Among the highlights of this year:

• The deployment of operational systems covering the collection, massification, and treatment of textiles and footwear across mainland France and overseas territories.

• The release of an exceptional fund of €6 million, fully financed by brands, to support sorting operators facing difficulties.

• The positive outcome of the Repair Bonus, with over 1,540 certified repairers and 826,000 repairs completed, fulfilling its mission to encourage French citizens to repair rather than discard.

• Renewed and strengthened public awareness efforts through the show On Refait la Mode on M6+ and M6 TV, promoting behavior change and the 4Rs.

• The launch of a new Industrial Challenge to scale up recycling innovations.

• Enhanced support for reuse through a Call for Projects focused on the industrialization of reconditioning.

• The revision of eco-modulation schemes to increase the incentive impact of our measures for brands.

• And ongoing scaling up of our support tools for brands, local authorities, sorting operators, and social and solidarity economy organizations.

This year confirms our conviction: the industry’s transition happens at all levels—from design to the second life of products, including consumer education.

Refashion is fully committed to this transformation alongside all concerned stakeholders to empower citizens, establish a sustainable circular model, develop new second-hand valorization channels, and foster a recycling industry that strengthens our national and European sovereignty.
