Recooper - No Profit Reuse - The future of the used clothes collection

Recooper,
no profit reuse

Recooper is the evolution of the used textiles collection.
The collection becomes simpler and more accessible; it promotes the ethical value of reuse and generates a positive and measurable social impact. It is transparent, so everyone can see the result of his own actions.

Chi siamo

Recooper is born from Restarter, a project for recycling used textiles, which since 2012 gathers 26 social cooperatives in the ECOBI Consortium.
Restarter works in the areas of Modena, Ferrara and Bologna, as follows:

more than 1200 containers for clothes collecting
5 warehouse faclities
37 newly employed workers
more than 150.000 euro donated to our region’s associations since the project was born
more than 4.000 tons of textile collected in 2017

Recooper is an evolution of this experience.
We are working to create a cooperatives network to offer you easier and more accessible tools, as well as more services.

Easier

You will not bother to remember where you last saw a clothes container: right on this site, you will see a map of all the containers, to find the nearest one.
More accessible

Thanks to Recooper, containers will not be the only places where you can put your used clothes. In fact, you will be able to ask us to place one of our container in your flat complex, or in your school, or even - why not? – in your office. Then you will call us, and we will come and get its contents.
More measurable

Right here on this site, you will find all the up-to-date data about the collection: such as the amount of textile collected, the amount of newly employed people, details about the textile chain (where are the clothes you give going?), or about the projects that we created, etc.
More responsibly working

In the same path as Restarter, Recooper will keep on supporting the social commitment of our region’s associations, showing the number of its donations and the beneficiaries. It will also tell you about the projects that the donations support.

More reachable

We’d love to meet you, talk together and know each other. Recooper will not only care about used clothes containers, or about its bins in schools, in flat complexes or offices: it will also organize events, in collaboration with schools, companies and organization, to promote and spread the values of reusing.
