Second-hand is the future of retail<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Take second-hand in your own hands<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Second-hand is not a trend, but a structural growth market that is growing two to three times faster than new, and, perfectly suits today’s consumers.

RAS helps retailers respond to this immediately. We develop ready-to-sell second-hand collections for retailers who want to look ahead.

Brand image<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Strengthen your brand with real impact<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Second-hand goods are not only good for the planet, but also for your brand. By making reuse visible in-store, sustainability becomes proof rather than just a claim. This gives retailers a credible and distinctive story to tell their customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Build demonstrable
sustainable brand value<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Access to Europe’s largest collection of second-hand textiles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As part of the Boer Group, RAS has access to an extensive collection of excellent quality second-hand textiles. The Boer Group is the largest processor of discarded textiles in Europe. Every year, this family business collects over 110,000 tonnes of textiles. Thanks to years of experience, the fifth generation now has a solid foundation of knowledge and experience in the marketing of second-hand textiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Relevance and trend<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Responding to what shoppers consider important today<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Second-hand fits perfectly with how people shop today. It is smart, affordable and conscious. This makes it an interesting category for customers who expect more from their purchase than just something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Second-hand is growing faster

Reporting<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the Netherlands, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) applies to textiles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Obligation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Producers and importers are responsible for the collection, recycling and reprocessing of textiles they place on the market. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Reporting<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\n

Reuse<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The law encourages reuse over recycling. Retailers who offer second-hand textiles are directly in line with this obligation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
