TAKE-BACK PROGRAM NOW AVAILABLE

Defining another milestone in our transparency journey, the ELK (RE)NEW take-back program is our way of extending the lifespan of our products and reduce their overall environmental impact.

We are taking responsibility for our role in creating a circular economy by offering end-of-life solutions for our products to reduce textile waste.

You can now bring in any ELK clothing you no longer have use for to any ELK Retail store.

HOW DOES THE PROGRAM WORK?

ELK (RE)NEW focuses on repair, resale, and repurposing of pre-loved ELK garments.

*Your voucher will be valid for use within 28 days at any ELK retail store or online.

ELK X BLOCKTEXX®

ELK is the first Australian fashion brand to collaborate with BlockTexx® for end-of-life garment recycling. This partnership focuses on our preloved, end-of-life garments that cannot be reused from our RE(NEW) Program.

BlockTexx® is a leader in textile recycling, introducing innovative solutions that divert textile waste from landfill into sustainable products. Traditional textile recycling processes often handle only "mono-fibres," meaning fabrics that are 100% of a single material, such as polyester or cotton.

BlockTexx® has developed technology that extracts valuable resources from blended fabrics, significantly expanding the potential for recycling end-of-life garments in the fashion industry, where blends are common.

Recycled fabrics are processed into two industry-ready products:

Polytexx® – Recycled-PET pellets used in textile production, injection moulding, and the construction industry for products such as polyester textiles and new plastic goods.
CellTexx® – A microcrystalline cellulose product used to enhance soil health in agricultural applications.
