For quite some time, we’ve been searching for a way to take
back your worn erlich clothing and home textiles. Our goal was to focus
on circular solutions like textile reuse and recycling—and now, we’ve made it
happen!
Over six months in 2022, we tested a Take-Back Pilot
Project in collaboration with I:Collect to see if you would use such
a service and how satisfied you’d be with its design.
On January 31, 2023, the pilot phase officially
ended—but the Take-Back System is here to stay! Thanks to your positive
feedback, we’ve decided to continue accepting your used erlich products.
As of February 1, 2023, our partnership with SOEX/I:Collect
seamlessly continues, meaning that ever since then, you can send us your old erlich
favorites twice a year free of charge!
For those of you interested in the details: During the six-month
test phase, we received a total of 23 returns. While that number may
seem low at first glance, it actually aligns with our goal of creating long-lasting,
timeless products. Most importantly, we were able to save 62 kg of old
textiles from landfill and incineration—an achievement we’re truly proud
of!
