About the Renewal Workshop
We deliver extensive renewal and recommerce services for your returned apparel and other textile products from your end-customers or retail stores. The renewal system, which we have created and keep constantly improving, enables you to restore products so they could be resold, generating new revenue opportunities for your brand. Moreover, you reduce your overall pollution, typically created from “waste” streams, and enable long-term new production reduction to offset carbon.
Ready to recommerce your products?
The potential for renewal to make a meaningful difference in the climate crisis is real. Our most recent research demonstrates that brands can achieve an average reduction of 51.5% in carbon emissions by renewing an existing product instead of producing a new one.
Bleckmann acquired The Renewal Workshop
In early 2022, we acquired The Renewal Workshop as part of our strategy to develop a fully circular supply chain proposition for our fashion and lifestyle clients. The acquisition of The Renewal Workshop enabled us to enhance our service portfolio with extensive collection, renewal and recommerce services. The comprehensive Renewal System truly complements our efforts to offer sustainable solutions to our clients.
