ReWEAR take-back: Giving clothes a second life
As part of our product circularity commitment, select Odlo stores offer free collection for used clothing.
Feeling the urge to clean out your closet again? 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 an option 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, Austria, France and Norway. From there, our recycling partner, TEXAID, processes them based on their condition. Selected Odlo items are sent to stock the popular ReWEAR resale collection in several of our brand stores, 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. And any clothing that has reached the end of the road is responsibly recycled or used for low energy production. 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 growing our highly requested repair programme for Odlo pieces. More coming soon.
We can do more
“We can do more” is our continued promise to protecting the spaces we love long into the future.
ReWEAR aligns into our “close the loop” product circularity commitment as we aim to design products to be durable, with the ability to repair and reuse, so that they can be enjoyed long into the future. We’re stoked to take another step forward by giving pieces that may have otherwise reached the end of the road a second life.
