Recycle today for a better world tomorrow
Secondhand products
Our sorting process is designed to give as many textiles and shoes as possible a second life. To achieve this, we always sort personally and tailor our selection to the customer’s preferences. Thanks to our many years of experience, we have extensive knowledge of the quality standards required in different markets.

Enabling textile circularity through professional sorting
Sorting is a crucial step in the circular textile value chain. In a growing global second-hand market typified by diversity in its demand, we offer a wide variety of articles tailored to our clients' needs. We take full responsibility for all incoming textiles and continuously improve our processes, achieving today's state-of-the-art standards.
Our highly experienced sorters allocate used textiles to their next best use according to the waste hierarchy. That means we prioritize reuse before recycling.
By preparing textiles for reuse, we extend their lifespan and conserve resources. Additionally, as sorting for recycling becomes increasingly important, we are ready to adapt our system to close the loop for non-reusable textiles.
As part of Boer Group, we focus on circularity and are at the forefront of innovation, continually accessing the latest advancements to drive the market forward.
Activities
Preparing for reuse
We are specialized in sorting textiles to meet global market demands. With our comprehensive sorting process we offer over 300 articles, tailored to the specific conditions of the respective sales markets.
Flexibility and fast adaptation are at the core of our operations, ensuring we provide in-demand, fashionable apparel and other textiles to meet your needs.
Sorting for recycling
Textiles that can no longer be reused as a original textile product are sorted based on their material properties. For high value materials, automated identification of fibre composition is integrated in our process to ensure recyclers' specification.
Driving innovation
Continuous improvement of our sorting process is a top priority for our management. Innovations in automated solutions, powered by our customized IT system, optimize costs by gathering real-time data on performance and quality control.

We are shifting from traditional manual sorting to advanced automated systems. Our state-of-the-art technologies set new standards for detecting quality, composition, and other critical criteria, ensuring the highest levels of recycling excellence. As part of Boer Group, focused on textile circularity, we are at the forefront of innovation, continually accessing the latest advancements to drive the market forward.
