Recycle used clothing with ReWEAR take-back

Feeling the urge to clean out your closet as spring approaches? Globally, only around 20 per cent of all the used clothing we clear out is collected for reuse or recycling. Our take-back programme – part of our ReWEAR circularity commitment – offers free recycling for used apparel to help boost that percentage.

How it works

It’s simple. Bring your used garments – from any brand – to the take-back boxes located in over thirty Odlo stores across Switzerland, Germany and Austria. From there, our recycling partner, TEXAID, processes them based on their condition.

Selected Odlo items are sent to our Zurich store to stock the popular ReWEAR resale collection, which sells near-new and refurbished pieces at a fraction of the original cost. The majority of the remaining items are resold in other second-hand stores.

A few simple rules to consider: we don’t accept new, wet or heavily soiled clothing, shoes, medical textiles or fabric scraps. Please wash garments before dropping them off.

As a bonus, when you use the take-back box, you also get a 10 per cent discount towards your next purchase.

Closing the loop

As a key component of our product circularity commitment, we’re stoked to continue offering take-back in order to give used products a second life. It’s an integral part of our journey towards closing the loop.

Now, we’re setting our sights on the launch of a highly requested repair programme for Odlo pieces. More coming soon.
