We collaborate with transformative companies like lululemon, Canada Goose, Aritzia, and Everlane (just to name a few), building systems of sustainability and circularity into their businesses by identifying the best next-life channels for our clients’ damaged, returned, and otherwise unused products. Our holistic ecosystem approach for next-life logistics combines in-house tech-enabled sortation with expert solution partnerships to deliver the highest impact possible at scale in reuse, recycling, responsible disposal, and circular textile innovations. 

Since 2008, Debrand has been dedicated to keeping apparel and footwear out of international landfills and into domestic recovery systems. We turn supply chain challenges into clear-cut, brand-aligned solutions that are better for businesses and the planet’s health. Our goal is to propel the apparel industry’s sustainable future by implementing a circular system to help textiles live on and on (and on).
