Darmstadt, Deutschland TEXAID Group Vollzeit

TEXAID is the leading company for têxtile recycling in Europe today. With about 1'100 employees we collect, sort, and process more than 80'000 tons of têxtile waste in our own sorting and manufacturing plants in Switzerland, Germany, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Spain as well as in the US.

The têxtile industry contributes a sizeable share of annual global GHG emission, making it a vital area in the fight against climate change. By giving a second life to têxtiles through re-use or recycling, TEXAID plays a key role in de-carbonizing the industry’s footprint and transforming têxtiles into a more sustainable resource.

Furthermore, the têxtile circularity industry is at the start of a seismic shift elicited by several major forces:

- Changes in regulations which demand raising collection and intra-European têxtile waste management (e.g., sorting, reuse, recycling)
- Technology advancements which make both sorting and têxtile-to-têxtile recycling economical and scalable
- Growing secondhand market and raising consumer demand increasing the resale value pool

With years of experience and our expertise and strength lying at the core of têxtile circularity, we will leverage these opportunities to build the next green business unicorn. Until 2030, we will make TEXAID the European leader in têxtile circularity with the ambition to scale our business >10x. This we will realize by expanding our collection & sorting footprint and investing in next generation technology to boost sustainable têxtile use.

Texaid’s Retail business unit operates one of the largest secondhand clothing chains in Germany with 60+ stores and online shops across 4 brands (ReSales, Vintage Revival, McVintage and Carou)
