How to recycle baby clothes?- Biba Magazine

Beebody manufactures and sells baby bodysuits in organic and durable cotton, while taking care of the recycling part to offer them a new life!

Zoom on this concept of committed circular economy, good for baby and the planet, opposite the fast fashion.

Baby fashion: a challenge

Whether the bodysuit, body or baby pajamas is organic, sustainable and environmentally friendly does not prevent a large quantity in a record time.

In adults, it is easy to wear a t-shirt ethically and sustainable and keep it for a long time!For baby, on the other hand, the duration of use rarely exceeds the month ...

So yes, the second hand exists, but Beebody goes further by proposing to manage production - fully done in Portugal and soon in part in France -, recycling and buyout, then restarting their website.

Beebody: How does this virtuous circle work?

According to the state of the returned clothing, two options.

Either it is in poor condition, and it is sent directly to a clothing recycling plant to be crushed.The fiber is then recovered, passed out and removed, to obtain a new, perfectly recycled organic cotton.

Either baby's clothing is in good condition, it can be repaired or simply controlled and put up for sale on the Beebody website.

Ultimately, this is the ambition of this virtuous circle: to produce as little as possible and to recycle as much as possible."The final goal is really to have a closed loop and that the garment is no longer considered a consumable like others," said Samuel Levy, managing director and co-founder of Beebody.

A major challenge, so Beebody makes sure to simplify the procedure as much as possible!

Beebody: How to send back the clothes?

Returning your old clothes is free, not limited in time, and allows you to obtain a voucher whose value depends on the condition of the garment, and which you can then use on your next Beebody order.

Either we scan a QR code that explains the procedure to follow, or we go directly to the website.

There, just request a prepaid return label to stick on your package, fill it with the dry and clean clothing (s), then place it in a nearest collection point (Colissimo or Mondial Relay).

Creations from 0 to 3 years old, ethical and at the right price

All Beebody essentials-Bodies, pajamas and T-shirts with timeless design and colors and easily combinable-are made of 100% organic Cotton Certified OCS, dyed without harmful products in Oeko-Tex certified factories, perfectly traceable.Transparency and commitment dear to Beebody.

"This avoids problems related to what is happening in China, with Uighurs for example.You can't make ethics and sell a body at 2 euros.This transparency is important, ”says Samuel Levy.

At a time of awareness of sustainable development and when we know the environmental impact of the textile industry, we readily say uste to fast fashion and welcome to the Refashion!
