One of FARM Rio's main pillars - circularity - is part of our commitment to create and produce responsible, sustainable, and ethical fashion. Our vision of circularity is intertwined with the following aspects: circular product design and processes, regeneration of nature, and use of natural resources.

We have been enhancing our processes and partnerships to ensure circularity since 2016, and we invest in lines that reuse surplus fabric in stock, selling products with less ecological impact and implementing reverse logistics in our products. We also advocate upcycling for defective items, establishing partnerships that give the clothes a new life and extend their life cycle with our partners in Brasil: Rede Asta, Oficina Muda, Re-roupa, and Enjoei.

OUR GOAL

Our goal is to be a zero-landfill waste company by 2030, and also consolidate and expand Circular Economy programs by 2025, increasing the amount of items with their life cycle extended by 20%.

RESULTS OF THE PARTNERSHIPS

Oficina Muda

WHAT IT IS: a multi-brand upcycling fashion company that recycles minor-defected items through repairs and adjustments to put them on sale again. Currently, all our surplus is resold to Oficina Muda to be overhauled.

Banco de Tecidos
