Collect

Speeding up collection on a nationwide level

Collection is the first essential step in giving used textiles and footwear a second life.

In 2024, Refashion entered a new operational phase with the launch of three major calls for tender aimed at sustainably structuring the collection and sorting of used clothing, household linen, and footwear (CHF). These tenders — Collection & Take-Back, Massification & Transfer, and Treatment — marked the concrete deployment of the new intervention model set out in the 2023–2028 accreditation.

In certain regions, Refashion can now directly manage textile waste operations, complementing existing systems.

The objective remains unchanged yet ambitious: to achieve a 60% collection rate by 2028 and thus divert these items from household waste. Indeed, anything is preferable to incineration or landfill.
