The omnichannel networkfor textile circularity.
Textiles are becoming a regulated material stream. Artus operates the infrastructure behind every channel — and records every handoff.
See how it worksWhat we do
Six operations.
One material record.
From the moment a textile is returned to its verified next destination, every step is operated, measured and accountable.
Take-backBranded collection units for stores, campuses and municipalities — every return tied to a station, bag or cage record.
LogisticsPickup planning, consolidated routes and accountable handoffs between stations, hubs and buyers.
TraceabilityOne material record from the first station event to the recorded destination: identity, weights and custody.
SortingConsistent grading by condition and composition to recover the highest value from every kilogram.
ResaleGraded stock into reuse, wholesale, recommerce and authorized markets — with the next destination on record.
ReportingCollection, processing and destination data structured for partners, producer responsibility organizations and audit.
Operating systemHow artusNet works
One network.Every circular step.
Collect

- Station identityVerify where each return was collected.
- Fill statusKnow capacity in real time to optimize collections.
- Sealed identityUnique records preserve end-to-end traceability.
Data that drives impact
From activity toaudit-ready evidence.
Real-time visibility turns operational activity into better decisions, verified routes and reporting-ready evidence.

Why Artus
Take-back,the documented way.
Too much textile collection ends in an unrecorded handoff. Artus operates every step and records it, so the material and the evidence arrive together.

Regulation is turning textile take-back from a voluntary program into a documented obligation. Artus runs the operations and produces the evidence.

Two complementary businesses
Each product is directedto the most appropriate route.
Used clothing has its own collection and reuse pathway. Commercial overstock and customer returns follow a separate resale and recovery process, with the right company handling each transaction.
Artus · All product categories
Overstock & customer returns, across categories.
Artus sources and trades surplus and customer-return goods across product categories. We work with suppliers to understand the product lot, preserve brand controls and build practical onward channels for the available stock.
F&P Stock Solution GmbH · Fashion specialist
Fashion mixes made for real-world buyers.
F&P specialises in fashion overstock and customer returns across textiles, footwear and accessories, creating tailored in-house mixes, including sport mixes, for B2B buyers.
Visit F&P Stock SolutionClear company relationship: F&P Stock Solutions GmbH (brand: F&P Stock Solution) is a legally separate sister company. It and the Artus companies share the same 100% owner; F&P is not a subsidiary of Artus Trade House GmbH. Each company contracts in its own name.
Sustainability
Reuse first. Recycle next.Nothing unaccounted for.
Circularity only counts when it is measured. Artus follows the waste hierarchy and records the route every lot takes.
Waste hierarchy · most preferred first
- 01Reuse & resaleWearable items are graded for second-hand, wholesale and recommerce markets first.
- 02Repair & remakeItems that can be restored go to repair and remake partners.
- 03RecyclingNon-wearable textiles become verified feedstock for recyclers and processors.
- 04RecoveryThe last route, never the default — and recorded like every other.
