RE TEXTIL is not only our company name – it also reflects our area of expertise.

We are able to guarantee that 100% of all materials delivered to us are recycled thanks to our state-of-the-art sorting plant and our highly qualified staff. Which means our work not only benefits our customers but the environment as well. Why? Because it is a well-proven fact that recovering and re-using raw materials from old textiles helps conserve our planet’s natural resources.

What happens to the clothes and shoes that have been donated?

Responsibility in practice – and not just when it comes to recycling textiles
-
The majority of the old textiles that we sort come from a catchment area of approx. 150 kilometres around our company premises near the German city of Koblenz. This helps reduce our carbon footprint – something that is very much appreciated by our customers as well. The way RE TEXTIL operates its business is further proof of just how responsible it is. We always purchase our textiles for a fair price that is set out and fixed in a contract. Which also means that we are helping – indirectly – to increase the amount of money available to local authorities. At the same time, our sorting plant has created numerous jobs in inland Germany – especially for low-skilled workers.

Sorting processes with just one goal in mind: 100% recycling
-
-
Our state-of-the-art sorting plant handles several tons of old clothes and shoes every single day. We not only process the raw materials, we also turn them into new final products – one of RE TEXTIL Deutschland’s particular strengths. As our operations are based on the cradle-to-cradle principle (reusing the same resources again and again by using production methods that conserve raw materials), we ensure that 100% of all textiles are recycled – an important contribution towards protecting the environment.

How we recycle textiles
-
Collections carried out by our contractual partners
Our cooperation partners collect the old clothes and shoes – for example via clothing banks or kerbside collections.
Delivery/collection
The textiles are delivered to our sorting plant in Polch near the German city of Koblenz. If requested, we are also very happy to travel to our partners to pick up their old clothes and shoes.
Pre-sorting
The old textiles are first roughly sorted into a variety of product categories: re-usable children’s clothing, men’s and women’s clothes, shoes, cleaning cloths, bedsprings and miscellaneous.
Detailed sorting
The pre-sorted textiles and shoes are then divided up again into up to 240 subcategories according to customer requirements, country of destination, season, material and quality.
Packing/selling
The sorted textiles and shoes are shipped in plastic bags and special transport sacks (60-80kg).

Locally based logistics – on a grand scale
-
-
Thanks to our global sales network, we are able to export our recycled textiles all around the world. For us, however, logistics also means being close to our customers to provide them with the services they need. If requested, we can collect the textiles from our partners or help them with their logistics by supplying them with swap bodies.

RE TEXTIL Deutschland offers its customers the whole range of product qualities. We have, for example, over 240 products for second-hand clothes and shoes. What’s more, we can also sort the materials to meet our customers’ exact quality requirements should they wish us to. One of the fundamental principles of our business is to make sure that as many of the old textiles as possible are re-used. If they can’t be used as second-hand clothing, then they are turned into cleaning cloths or sold on to industrial businesses as recycled material.
