Tradition Meets the Circular Economy:
This Is Who We Are!
faircollect is part of the GLAESER Group, which has been rooted in the textile industry since 1888. As part of the GLAESER Group, we combine the reliability of a family-owned company with the innovative strength of a modern textile recycling specialist.

We give textiles a second life: environmentally friendly, socially responsible, and professional.
A Strong Foundation
The GLAESER Family
faircollect is more than just a collection system. We are deeply rooted in GLAESER Textil Nachf. GmbH, a traditional family-owned company with a long history.
What began as a small business has grown into a successful group with more than 600 employees at over 10 locations.
Our expertise extends far beyond collection:
Industrial Partner
We produce textile raw materials and fibers.
Innovation Driver
We continuously develop new solutions to transform textile waste into high-quality recycled products and environmentally friendly alternatives.
Versatile Portfolio
From geotextiles for erosion protection to high-quality home textiles and filling materials for cushions and soft toys.
The industrial depth of the GLAESER Group ensures that we do not simply collect textiles, but understand and manage the entire value creation process.
Our consistent diversification has enabled us, as a resilient family-owned company, to successfully navigate economic challenges since 1888. From fiber trading, textile recycling, and the production of cushions and agricultural fleeces to GLAESERclean, fabrics, sewing machines, textile workshops, and sustainable green solutions, we cover a wide range of the textile industry.
With faircollect, we use this accumulated expertise to professionally and transparently return secondary raw materials to the circular economy as valuable resources.
faircollect: A Community Partner Since the 1960s
As an experienced partner of the community, faircollect has been professionally collecting used clothing and shoes since the 1960s in close cooperation with municipalities, associations, and charitable organizations.
We view textiles as a valuable resource reserve and give them a sustainable future through specialized textile logistics.
As part of our strong corporate group, we combine ecological responsibility with social commitment.
Our Mission: Closing the Textile Loop
Every year, hundreds of thousands of tons of textiles end up in residual waste in Germany alone. This is not only an environmental burden but also a waste of valuable resources.
faircollect was founded with the vision of sustainably transforming the textile value chain. We ensure that textiles remain within the circular economy. In doing so, we actively reduce CO₂ emissions and conserve the resources of our planet.
The faircollect Process: From Container Back into the Circular Economy
Our actions follow a clear, certified process that ensures quality and ethical standards:
Intelligent Collection
Location-optimized collection through state-of-the-art logistics.
Professional Reuse and Recycling
Sorting according to the principle of “reuse before recycling.”
Resource Recovery
High-quality textiles are returned to the second-hand market; non-wearable materials become raw materials for new products (e.g., insulation materials or recycled yarns).
Why faircollect?
We are proof that economic success and ecological responsibility go hand in hand. Whether you are a municipality looking for a clean collection concept, an association aiming to sustainably support its finances, or a commercial collector seeking a strong logistics partner – faircollect provides the expertise to help you move forward.
What Drives Us:
Our Three Pillars
01
Social Responsibility at Our Core
We believe in the power of local structures. faircollect is more than a logistics company; we are a partner for associations and charitable organizations. Through our cooperation, we generate financial resources for social projects and directly support voluntary work in local communities. We create win-win situations that provide added value for society.
02
Ecological Precision
Through our optimized logistics processes, we minimize transport routes and maximize reuse rates. Every kilogram of textile that we return to the circular economy saves valuable water and reduces the ecological footprint of the textile industry.
03
Professionalism and Legal Compliance
For municipalities and commercial partners, we are a guarantee of reliability. We ensure a clean urban environment through modern container systems and smooth collection cycles. At the same time, we always operate within current waste management regulations and provide complete transparency in documentation.
"
We see ourselves as architects of a world in which textiles remain infinitely valuable. For the environment, for society, and for future generations.
