Collect, recirculate and recycle |
| Across the H&M Group we are working to increase the rate of textile collection and reuse, improve sorting and recycling technology, as well as working with policy makers to enable the transition to a circular industry. We were one of the first brands to launch a garment collecting programme in 2013 and since then we have received over 155,000 tonnes of textiles. Customers can drop off their unwanted items in our stores and our partners sort them according to their condition, following criteria set out in the EU waste hierarchy, which prioritises reuse before recycling: Reuse – garments that can be worn again are sold as second-hand clothes. Repurpose & recycle – old clothes and textiles that cannot be resold are repurposed or recycled into new products and fibres. Energy recovery – items that do not fit into the above categories are disposed of in other ways prioritising incineration for energy production. Across the industry, around 60% of collected textiles are resold and 35% repurposed or recycled. The remaining 5% are disposed of prioritising incineration to recovery energy. At the H&M Group, we are categorically against clothing becoming waste and it goes against our work to create a more circular fashion industry. |
