Rekotex

What Rekotex does

Rekotex is a privately held Swedish company, founded in 2017 and headquartered in Borås, operating a marketplace platform for the buying and selling of leftover fabrics from textile manufacturers. Borås is the historical center of the Nordic textile industry, which provides the company with proximity to a dense cluster of suppliers; the company serves this two-sided market by giving manufacturers a channel to monetize fabric surplus that would otherwise be discarded or sold at steep discounts through off-market channels.

The underlying product is a digital marketplace rather than a vertically integrated textile operation; the source data does not specify whether the platform takes a transaction commission, listing fee, subscription, or hybrid revenue model, and no pricing detail, technology stack, or proprietary feature is disclosed. The company operates at very small scale (1-10 employees), is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, and has no documented management team, partnerships, certifications, or subsidiary structure in the available data.

The business model mechanics are not characterized in the source material. There is no disclosed GMV, transaction volume, take rate, customer count, or revenue figure, and the customer base — both on the textile manufacturer supply side and the buyer side — is not enumerated. The English-language version of the corporate website (rekotex.se/en/) is the only signal of any cross-border orientation; the company's operating geographies are otherwise unspecified. In short, the inputs support a narrow factual description of what the company does, but provide very limited evidence on how it operates commercially or how it is differentiated beyond its Borås location and the residual-fabric niche.

Direct peers

• Reverse Resources: Reverse Resources is a B2B platform connecting textile manufacturers and buyers for fabric waste and leftover inventory, primarily across South and Southeast Asia. It competes with Rekotex for the same circular textile sourcing use case.
• FabScrap: FabScrap runs a textile waste collection and resale service for the fashion industry in the United States, enabling brands and manufacturers to divert leftover fabric from landfill. It is directly comparable to Rekotex as a textile-resale platform with similar buyer/seller dynamics.
• Queen of Raw: Queen of Raw operates a global B2B marketplace for deadstock and excess textile inventory. It is the closest direct competitor to Rekotex, serving the same supplier (manufacturers) and buyer (brands) segments with a similar digital marketplace model.

Regional players

• Nornir (Nortextil): Nortextil is a Norwegian textile sorting and recycling initiative focused on Nordic textile waste streams. It is a regional peer addressing the same Nordic circular textile market Rekotex serves, though at the post-consumer collection stage.

Emerging players

• Waste2Wear: Waste2Wear supplies recycled and upcycled textile products with traceable supply chains. While it focuses more on finished recycled products than on a leftover-fabric marketplace, it operates in the same circular textile sourcing narrative relevant to Rekotex's buyer base.

Broad incumbents

• Texaid: Texaid is one of Europe's largest textile collection and sorting companies, aggregating post-consumer clothing for reuse and recycling. It is broadly comparable as a circular textile operator serving European markets and intersects with Rekotex's secondary textile materials focus.
• Renewcell: Renewcell (Circulose) is a Swedish pulping company that chemically recycles textile waste into new fibers. It overlaps with Rekotex's circular textile economy thesis and shares the Swedish/European footprint, though it operates upstream in material processing rather than as a fabric marketplace.
• Bank & Vogue Group: Bank & Vogue sources and trades post-consumer and post-industrial textiles globally for resale and recycling. It is a broader incumbent in the secondhand textile trade with overlapping supplier and end-buyer relationships to Rekotex.
