Almacén de Coleo

“Old Trash, New Trend”

Coleo is a Spanish business group committed to transforming the textile industry and generating positive and lasting change for people and the planet. Their circular model takes post-consumer garments and industrial process leftovers and saves them from landfills by collecting, transforming, and reusing them to create new textile products. The idea is to close the loop and that an old garment can be part of a new one. 


Leading European group in textile circularity

Coleo uses technology to valorize used garments and develop circular and scalable solutions. They also recover post-industrial and post-consumer textiles for reintroduction into the fashion industry.

Through its own automated reuse and recycling plants, Coleo promotes sustainability with an international vision by reducing waste and encouraging the reuse of materials in the textile sector.
