Long live fashion
✔ Compliant ✔ Free transport & reporting ✔ You stay in control
What if your surplus stock could still create value?
Surplus stock is part of doing business. Seasonal changes, returns, or full warehouses, it happens to everyone. But it’s a shame to waste good work, materials, and value. At ReShare, we help fashion brands give their surplus stock a fair and human-centered purpose.
Always a responsible destination
This is how your surplus stock gets a second chance:
No dumping or blind reselling, but careful sorting and purposeful redistribution. Whatever type of inventory you have, there’s always a route that fits your brand and your goals. Together, we choose the best option:
-
ReShare Stores: sale in our circular stores with social impact
-
Emergency aid: sent quickly to places where clothing is most needed
-
Recycling: fibres get a second life in new products
-
Responsible resale: across borders when appropriate
-
Waste as a last resort
What we ask & what you get
We’re looking for surplus stock that fits our ReShare Stores: think of clothing, shoes, and accessories that are still wearable.
Our preference is to restore value, rather than simply passing stock along.
You can be sure your inventory ends up in the right place. We offer peace of mind, control, and transparency, so you can proudly celebrate “Long live fashion”, both internally and externally.
1. No hassle
We take care of transport, sorting, redistribution, and a report for your internal administration.
2. Transparency
We provide support for intake systems, processing, and annual reporting.
3. Compliance
From 19 July 2026, destroying unsold clothing and footwear will be prohibited (for medium-sized companies from 2030).
4. Tax benefits
ReShare is ANBI-registered (Public Benefit Organisation). Your donation may be tax-deductible, under certain conditions.

“A pair of jeans is always needed. For a birthday, a job interview, or simply to feel human again.” - Elize Bikker, team leader at De Sluis
Social is strong
ReShare is part of The Salvation Army and combines professional textile processing with a social mission.
We give clothing, people, and brands a new chance. By creating work, dignity, and opportunities for people who are distanced from the labour market, your surplus becomes a contribution to something greater, without compromising on professionalism or brand image.
More and more brands and municipalities are discovering that surplus stock isn’t a burden, but an opportunity:

Many retailers sell their surplus stock after clearance sales or outlet seasons for just a fraction of its value to resellers.
These often end up abroad, with no brand visibility and no compliance value.
At ReShare, you receive a similar symbolic compensation, but also much more:
-
Visible brand and social value (through local sales, emergency aid, and recycling)
-
Full reporting
-
A transparent final destination for your stock
For brands that prefer their items not to reappear on the Dutch market, we document this in a donation agreement.
That way, you retain full control over the destination and always choose the route that fits your brand.
UPV Textiles (NL, since 2023):
From 2025, 50% of all textiles sold must be prepared for reuse or recycling, including 20% for reuse, 10% within the Netherlands, and 25% fibre-to-fibre recycling.
An annual report is required before 1 August each year.
ESPR (EU):
From 19 July 2026, large companies will be prohibited from destroying unsold clothing and footwear
(medium-sized companies from 2030). Reporting obligations start in 2025.

Yes. ReShare is ANBI-registered (Public Benefit Organisation), which offers tax advantages:
-
Sponsorship (with a return service, such as brand visibility) → fully deductible as a business expense.
-
For in-kind donations (such as clothing) exceeding €10,000 per year, an independent valuation report or a substantiated value (e.g. recent purchase invoice) is required from 2024 onwards.
Because starting in 2025, you’ll already be required to report what happens to your unsold inventory.
The sooner you choose transparent and responsible redistribution, the stronger your annual report and brand story will be, and the lower your reputational risk.
Yes. You can schedule a tour of our sorting centre in Deventer. (Please note, this page is only available in Dutch only.)
That way, you can see firsthand how your surplus stock gets a second chance.
