The Renewal Workshop’s circular model for renewal and re-commerce not only drives sales and customer engagement for brands but also has significant environmental impact. Based in the US, The Renewal Workshop is a provider of circular solutions for apparel and textile brands. The company is organised around the idea that businesses have multiple responsibilities for generating positive, lasting value.

The apparel industry’s take-make-waste cycle is turning circular with the rise of re-commerce. This is changing the game for brands who see their products resold on third-party sites. The Renewal Workshop enables brands to be a driving force in this transition, with a complete solution that not only manages the collection, renewal, and quality of a brand’s damaged or used garments, but also the back-end of the brand’s own re-commerce site. This allows brands to engage directly with customers in their own branded second-sale channel. The Renewal Workshop operates a zero-waste circular system that recovers the full value out of what has already been produced. Brand partners receive impact data on the amount of water, carbon, and chemicals that are saved through their partnership. To date, over two hundred thousand pounds of apparel have been diverted from waste in this system.
