<\/span><\/div>

A ban on the destruction of unsold or returned clothing and shoes (ESPR) recently went into effect in the European Union. The goal is clear: to conserve resources, prevent waste, and strengthen the circular economy. But in practice, many companies are faced with a different question: <\/span><\/p>\n

What happens to merchandise that isn’t saleable but might still be salvageable?<\/p>\n

Not all defective merchandise has to be written off. Often, it\u2019s relatively minor defects that prevent the merchandise from being shipped: <\/p>\n

    \n
  • Incorrect or Missing Labeling<\/li>\n
  • Stains\/Dirt<\/li>\n
  • Mold After Transport or Storage<\/li>\n
  • Damaged Packaging<\/li>\n
  • Broken buttons or seams<\/li>\n
  • Strains from lying down<\/li>\n
  • etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    In many cases, these products can be restored to a saleable condition through targeted rework.<\/span><\/p>\n
