ReFashion
PROGRAM
For a few years now ReFashion has implemented a bonus system to encourage and reward virtuous eco-design initiatives known as eco-modulation. The purpose of this system is to reward products whose environmental impacts have been minimized.
Eco Modulation Bonus Scheme
The Eco Modulation Bonus scheme is based on testing data to prove that a product fits within the criteria and is a valid product to be part of the scheme.
Once approved the product owner is rewarded with:
- Bonus for the durability of products
- Bonus for obtaining certain environmental certifications
- Bonus for the incorporation of raw recycled materials
There are also penalties incurred for the presence of metalloplastic fibers, electronic or electrical components in textile products or the non-recyclability of textiles and footwear products.
What Products are in scope?
- Knitted Clothes (excluding baby products)
- Woven Clothes (excluding baby products)
- Knitted Clothes for Baby (0-36 mths)
- Woven Clothes for Baby (0-36 mths)
- Household Linen

Each category has specific protocols per products type e.g. knitted t-shirt
