Textile management

Avatar: Tina Grässli Tina Grässli

What should be created?
A hub for textiles of all kinds. Textiles can be brought to our warehouse on Räffelstrasse by private individuals. There you will be sorted by a team. The division is made into the following Group: Fibre recycling for yarn manufacturers (only natural fibres, clothing and textiles that can no longer be used), district heating (textiles made of synthetic fibres or mixtures that can no longer be used), second-hand high-end (for sale in shops), second-hand cheap (for sale in shops). We have been in the clothing business for 30 years and produce sustainable collections ourselves (xess+baba), and we have also been running a second-hand shop in Enge since 2013. So we have the know-how. The sorted used textiles can be resold to recyclers. To do this, contacts with yarn manufacturers at home and abroad still have to be established and the corresponding logistics must be established. We think that it would be a big project and that we would have to hire people for sorting and rent an additional storage room. A concrete budget would then have to be drawn up for this.
example
We have read that the city wants to take over textile recycling itself in the future. We could start a pilot project to find out how this could work.
Are you an individual or part of a group?
We are a company (e.g. start-up, SME)
Name
xess+baba GmbH and xess+baba First&2nd
Are you implementing the idea alone or are you still looking for comrades-in-arms?
I/we are still looking for comrades-in-arms
Describe the place(s)
At Räffelstrasse 11, 8045 Zurich, where we have our office and warehouse, there are large storage rooms in the basements, which could be rented for this purpose
