Legally compliant solutions for Inventory Surpluses

faircollect returns textiles to cycle

Globally connected with strong partners in the textile industry

Logistics without own effort

Legal certainty according to the latest legal situation

In the fashion industry, change is the only constant. But while trends come and go, the legal framework for dealing with unsold goods has become fundamentally solidified. With the EU Ecodesign Regulation (ESPR), ending the destruction of new products is no longer just an ethical issue—it is now a legal obligation.
faircollect supports fashion brands and fashion retailers in returning excess inventory, production overruns, and customer returns to the circular economy in a legally compliant and environmentally responsible way.

4 steps towards sustainable inventory relief

1. Initial contact and inventory assessment

Whether you are a fashion brand, fashion house, textile producer or retailer – simply contact us via form, e-mail or phone.

3. Flexible processing

We adapt to your goals:

Direct purchase: We take over your inventory at fair conditions.

Charitable placement: Would you prefer to donate your inventory rather than sell it? We will connect you with our charitable partners, who will issue an official donation receipt.

Hybrid model: Of course, sales and donations can also be combined to achieve both economic and social goals in the best possible way.

2. Binding offer and compliance check

Based on your inventory data, we will prepare a transparent and market-driven takeover offer for you. We ensure that all planned sales channels exactly meet your requirements for brand protection as well as the requirements of the EU Ecodesign Regulation (ESPR).

4. Professional collection and compensation

After the assignment, we take over the complete operational processing. We collect the goods directly from your central warehouses or locations and guarantee fast payment for the goods.

Professional solutions for demanding inventories

Your brand image is your most valuable asset. That is why we handle your goods with the highest level of discretion, logistical precision, and professional expertise.

01

Strategic redistribution

Not every textile item is intended for the traditional second-hand market. We assess inventories individually and direct them to the most suitable utilization channel. Always with a focus on preserving the value of the resource.

02

Logistical full-service relief

We take over the entire process for you. From collection at your central warehouses to the final utilization report, we ensure a smooth process that conserves your internal resources.

03

Individual sales channel control (optional)

Upon request, we provide maximum security for your brand positioning. Through targeted control of goods flows and the exclusion of defined markets, we ensure that your inventory remains only in the regions and channels approved by you.

04

Regional & global networking

Thanks to our strong network, we find the right buyer for every product category.
