Eco-organisation mission and objectives

Approved in 2009 by the public authorities, the eco-organisation
is the fruit of a multi-player project. To successfully fulfil its general interest mission, it draws support from all of the stakeholders in the Clothing, Household linen and Footwear Textile industry (CHF),from the designer to the recycler.

It "weaves links" to position this industry within a progressive and value-creation partnership dynamic: putting in place an innovative and sustainable model which constitutes a driving force at the level of business and environmental, economic and social performance.

Environmental stakes

 

More than 2.9 billion CHF items are placed on the market every year. When they don't end up in the bin or are used by several people or their materials are recycled for other uses, they enable waste to be reduced, natural resources to be preserved and Greenhouse Gases (GHG) and pollution to be limited.

Economic stakes

 

Reusing or recycling equates to giving back value to what would otherwise be destroyed. The used CHF recovery and recycling industry is a growing industry.

Social stakes


With objectives which include increasing collection and qualifying sorting to develop recycling, the industry can create employment at local level.
