Reskinned is a circular fashion partner in the UK, working with major brands and marketplaces to keep clothing in circulation through resale, reuse, and recycling rather than landfill. The company has quickly moved from a kitchen-table startup to an award-winning recommerce leader, topped by recent wins at the eBay 2025 Top Seller Award event, Marie Claire UK Sustainability Awards 2024, and recognized at the Drapers Awards.
What is Reskinned?
Reskinned describes its mission as creating “a more sustainable clothing world,” linking existing recycling know-how with new technology to give brands and shoppers more options to rehome unwanted clothes through resale, repair, and innovative recycling.
All garments that go through Reskinned are either resold, repurposed, or recycled, with landfill kept at 0%, and pieces that can be worn again are cleaned, repaired, and graded for resale, often at around 40–50% of the original retail price.
The company leans on more than…
20 years of textile recycling experience while investing in tech, from detailed hand-sorting to a zero-water ozone sanitising process that refreshes garments without traditional laundering.
Items that do not suit the UK market are sent to long-term partners in other European markets for reuse, while lower-grade textiles are redirected into mechanical or fibre-to-fibre recycling streams, always keeping them out of waste sites.
How Reskinned’s Circular Model Works On its core platform, Reskinned sorts every item into one of four main routes: 30% of pieces meet the quality bar for resale, 40% are reused in other markets, 30% go into responsible recycling, and 0% are sent to landfill.
Mechanical recycling turns damaged or low-value garments into fillings and insulation, while early-stage fibre-to-fibre projects focus on pure cotton and selected cotton blends that can be broken down and transformed back into new textile materials…
