Our goals
THE CHALLENGES
OF THE
TEXTILE-FASHION SECTOR
Fashion is one of the most polluting industries in the world.
MANAGING TEXTILE WASTE THE WAY WE HAVE UNTIL NOW NO LONGER WORKS.
The countries of destination of used clothing exports can no longer manage these quantities, and environmental disaster is just around the corner.
RE-USING TEXTILES LOCALLY IS DIFFICULT
It is necessary to create new opportunities for the local valorization of textiles, facilitating the meeting between those who manage textile waste and those who are able to reuse it.
THE SECOND-HAND SUPPLY CHAIN IS INEFFICIENT AND NOT TRANSPARENT
To valorize the collected textiles, it is necessary to identify and transmit data on their characteristics, but the volumes involved make it impossible to do this manually.
ouR Mission
Since 2019, Atelier Riforma has been working to disrupt the fashion industry through the circular economy, reducing waste and building a sustainable future through activism, services, and technology.
Our mission is ambitious: to reform the fashion system by making it more circular, transparent and responsible.
re4circular
technology
Re4Circular is an innovative technology for circular fashion powered by artificial intelligence, which catalogues and digitises pre- and post-consumer textiles, turning them into resources for fashion professionals.
Through its automated sorting system and B2B marketplace, it connects those who manage textiles with those who reuse them, maximising the potential of the materials and reducing waste.
