Currently, many companies are facing the problem of managing waste produced from Textile industry. In 2019, according to a report by the Foundation for Sustainable Development, the sector produced approximately 480,000 tonnes of Fabrics waste, 96% of which was non-hazardous. Almost half of this waste comes directly from the textile industry, in addition to post-consumer waste.
To address this issue, Sfridoo Marketplace is born, in order to facilitates the search for suitable partners for the valorisation of this waste.

Enter the Marketplace
On Sfridoo, you can find companies that post their textile waste, including leather, to find new partners and buyers, or companies that offer recovery and disposal services. The platform dedicated to companies puts you in touch with producers of waste materials such as weaving yarn waste, mixed fabrics, unused leather, and defective industrial production sheets and knits.
In the industrial Textile sector, Fabrics can be disposed of by contacting companies specialising in the sector and authorised to collect these waste materials.
It is also possible to sell industrial textile waste, rather than disposing of it, when a value chain can be found for it: this is an advantageous option that should be evaluated with environmental experts. Several companies and supply chains are interested in purchasing waste fabrics and leather for reuse in new products. This practice not only reduces waste, but can also generate additional revenue and promote the circular economy and industrial symbiosis.
The types of fabric you can find on the platform are as follows: polyester, blended fabrics, cotton, natural fibre, synthetic fibre, hollow fibre, textile waste, leather, fabrics, elastomer, plastomer.
By clicking on the ‘Go to marketplace’ button, you can start entering a request or offer for materials, creating your digital inventory of resources or creating an inventory of requests for the materials you are looking for.
Registration on the platform is completed in two simple steps.
First, click on ‘ENTER THE MARKETPLACE’ and indicate whether you intend to promote your materials or find materials and make purchase requests.
From a single profile, you can monitor all the sites that produce waste and invite other users authorised by you to operate on Sfridoo.
