Designing Eco-Friendly Products
Waste minimization is a set of processes and practices intended to reduce the amount of waste produced. By reducing or eliminating the generation of harmful and persistent waste, brands can support efforts to promote more sustainable practices.
Reducing Process Waste
The end-of-life production of recyclable textiles helps to reduce chemical and material waste. The creation of multiple uses for recycled textiles extends its life cycle. Artus Group considers each step in the sorting process to determine the reusability of the textile.
Optimizing Consumption through Sustainable Ecosystems
Textiles should be returned to the place where they were initially sold. This, in turn, extends the textile’s life-cycle.The take-back of post-consumer textiles coupled with our recycling capabilities and global partnerships allows us to continue our mission of helping brands achieve circularity.
Promoting Reuse
Building a take-back infrastructure around a brand is one thing. However, in order to encourage consumers to purchase sustainable products, we have devised an innovative reward system to bring the customers a step closer to reducing their carbon footprint.
Increasing Collection
Artus Group is currently working with the German Red Cross to modernize the collection process. Through vertically integrated retail partners, Artus Group can positively influence the German Red Cross’s value chain through direct marketing. Additionally, Artus Group provides infrastructure for retail partners to offer its customers on-line or in-store collection services.

Part of our business structure consists of providing our partners with social incentives to participate in our mission of promoting equality within the workplace. Our sustainable business model enables us to be inclusive and maintain our diverse work environment.
Investing in Infrastructure
Developing a scalable, take-back focused infrastructure requires global partnerships. We are currently looking for the best possible way to expand our expertise and work with brands on a global scale.
Developing Markets for Recycled Materials
We are proud to deliver our participating partners with recycled materials from post- consumer goods. We believe that the world will systematically embrace a circular system. This change, however, requires not only a sustainable business model, but also the right partnerships.
