Hand in your clothes and
receive a reward
There is now a new and better way to hand in used clothing and textiles. That’s good for the world, because most worn items can be reused or recycled. It’s also good for you, because it will save you money. Help make worn clothing sustainable and circular.
Drop & Loop is for everybody.

Why?
The quality of collected textiles is deteriorating rapidly
Each year, 150 million kilos of clothing are incinerated in the Netherlands
Only one-third of the collected textiles is reused or recycled
Your old clothes deserve better. And so do you!

Hand in your clothes and receive a reward
This is how it works: you put your clothes in a bag at home. You take it with you to one of the stores with a Drop & Loop collection point, or you request a collection bag online from a webshop that offers textile collection with Drop & Loop. Every time you hand in your old clothes you get a discount or other reward. These are settled at the cash register or service desk.

Loop
Your clothes are given a new lease of life
Your handed-in clothes are collected and taken to a sorting centre. Anything that can still be worn is given a new lease of life. The rest is used to spin new yarn, which in turn is used to make fabrics. Those fabrics are used to make new clothing or other sustainable products
We collect and sort the clothes
Usable clothing is reused
The rest of the clothing is recycled
We make new fabrics and products from recycled yarn.
Together with our partner Wolkat
Drop & Loop collaborates with her partner Wolkat on the collection and processing of textiles. Wolkat is the only circular textile processor in the world where the entire chain (sorting, recycling, spinning and weaving) takes place under one roof. With Wolkat as a partner, Drop & Loop is the first in the Netherlands with a complete circular program for textiles.
The app
We are working hard on the development of the Drop & Loop app. The Drop & Loop app enables you to see how much textile you have handed in so far and where you can find your nearest Drop & Loop collection point. Furthermore, the app has many tips & tricks, a quiz and it shows you how much you really contribute to a more sustainable world. The app will be available in 2023.
