- In addition to the market rates paid for the clothes collected, after reserves and a contractually limited dividend, profits are paid out in the form of reimbursements to the charities and grass-roots groups.
- Only TEXAID sorts approx. 65 % of the used clothing and shoes collected in Switzerland. In comparison with its competitors, TEXAID earns less from sorting, which ensures that there is more environmentally-friendly and demand-driven utilization of the old clothes.
- By having its own sorting facilities TEXAID creates new jobs and by sorting avoids exports of waste products and unusable textiles. TEXAID employs a total of about 80 people.
- Our charities are shareholders in TEXAID and do not only stand behind it in name but are actively involved in its operations through their grass-roots groups and occupational projects, which collect on behalf of TEXAID. The profits TEXAID generates is paid to the charities, which at the same time are shareholders in TEXAID Textilverwertungs-AG and therefore bear some of the economic risk. In addition, our charities take some of the clothes we collect to use for their humanitarian projects. Unlike with our competitors, donating clothes to TEXAID helps in four ways: It provides clothes for those with small budgets, is good for the environment, creates jobs and provide direct support for six Swiss charities and their grass-roots groups.
- TEXAID is the only company in this sector to publish annual results and is audited by an independent auditor (Visura).
- TEXAID contributes to stabilizing the collection sector in Switzerland: TEXAID initiated and now runs the ‘Coordination Office for Roadside Textile Collections in Switzerland’, to which all four major textile collection organizations belong. The office coordinates the roadside collections and facilitates the approval procedure for the communes by applying for authorizations jointly.
- TEXAID is among other things a member of Swiss Recycling, an association that carries out educational work in schools and informs the general public about how to separate, collect and reuse recyclable materials.
