Product disposal
We know that there are ongoing challenges for manufacturers and retailers in how to handle returns, seconds, end of lines and overruns in a sustainable, efficient way.
Until now, the options for retailers or manufacturers looking for environmentally responsible ways to dispose of unwanted stock have been limited.
At CTR we can offer alternative disposal routes that repurpose and recycle your products. It means we can unlock new markets around the globe and donate surplus to charitable UK partners. We can help you easily and quickly turn the headache of surplus into a positive for your business.

Giveback schemes
Across the fashion and clothing industry, businesses are introducing ‘giveback’ schemes, where brands allow their customers to play their part in responsible clothes-buying, by offsetting their purchases through the return of unwanted clothing.
We have developed an industry-leading giveback platform for you to white-label as your own, with a fully-integrated circular logistics process sitting behind it. It’s one that delivers a sustainable, simple solution for you and your customers, with total freedom to apply your own branding, identity and look and feel.

Overstock, end-of-line & clearance
We work with retail partners to help them responsibly manage their stock.
Nowadays there are plenty of challenges to any retailers looking to stay agile with their supply chain, and even the most successful businesses end up with stock they aren’t able to use.
We pay our partners to purchase their unwanted stock. We can work directly with brands, retailers, couriers, warehousing and manufacturers across a huge range of clothing, footwear, homeware, furniture, electrical and much more. If you’re looking for a trusted partner that works with global brands to sustainably reuse stock, get in touch.

Returns
In the booming era of online shopping, returns are big business. They’re also an expensive business. KPMG estimate that UK businesses spend approximately £7billion per year on their returns operation.
We create bespoke returns programmes for our partners. We handle the entire process (if that’s what you need), so no two schemes are the same. Every retailer, wholesaler and manufacturer is different, and so are their returns programmes. We’ll work with you to create the right solution for your business and your customers.
