Euro Used Clothing B.V.

What Euro Used Clothing B.V. does

Euro Used Clothing B.V. is a Netherlands-based second-hand textile sorting company founded in 2000 and operating as the youngest sorting facility within the Boer Group conglomerate. The company is headquartered at Mark S. Clarkelaan 15, 4761 RK Zevenbergen (Moerdijk Industrial Park, near Rotterdam) and runs a single-site operation processing approximately 35 tons of used textiles every day with a 45-person dedicated team. It sources used textiles and shoes from Western European collection systems and serves enterprise buyers in the global secondhand textile market who resell graded material in their respective end-markets.

The company's core capability is a manual, quality-based sorting process that categorizes incoming material into over 250 distinct items spread across multiple quality levels and product groups (e.g., pants, t-shirts, sweaters), with selection further tailored to each customer's market-specific quality preferences. The facility is equipped to load all standard transport units (lorries and sea containers), enabling direct global distribution from a single Zevenbergen site. The Zevenbergen operation draws on Boer Group's broader textile-recycling expertise, best practices, and international network for standards, quality control, and buyer relationships.

Commercially, Euro Used Clothing runs an enterprise field-sales motion with quote-based pricing, a 3,000 kg minimum first order for new customers, and test loadings arranged to customer specification. Customers can visit the facility to inspect the sorting process before purchase, and deliveries/pick-ups run Monday to Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The business model is transactional sale-of-goods — one-time license-style revenue per shipment of graded textile — rather than recurring subscription. Operating geographies cover the Netherlands as primary domicile, sourcing predominantly in Western Europe, with global customer reach for downstream resale channels.
