Reuse

Developing high quality and local reuse

In 2024, Refashion accelerated its actions in favor of reuse, a key lever for waste prevention and the transition toward a more circular fashion industry.

True to its mission, the eco-organization continued to roll out the Reuse Fund, a scheme created under the AGEC law and dedicated to Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) stakeholders.

Thanks to significant scaling-up in 2024, over €6 million were allocated to support the development of local initiatives and strengthen the traceability of reused product flows.

Refashion worked closely with the main SSE network organizations as well as directly with field actors in the sector.

In parallel, the complementary action funding scheme reached a new milestone. Following a successful first edition of the Reuse Call for Projects in 2023, a new component was launched in 2024 to support the industrialization of reconditioning.

Objective: to help organizations scale up by increasing the volume of reconditioned textile and footwear products — through hygienization, cleaning, stain removal, and repair operations — to promote their return to market and ensure a desirable second-hand offer.

By progressively structuring an ambitious second-hand ecosystem, Refashion supports the emergence of sustainable and concrete solutions that combine environmental, economic, and social impacts.
