Take-back clothing and textile recycling schemes encourage consumers to recycle their old garments rather throwing them into landfill. These schemes can help prolong the life of garments, enable clothing to be resold or reused and help facilitate textile-to-textile recycling.

A note on the scoring system

WikiRate has a standardised 10-point scoring system making it possible to compare company scores across different benchmarks. On WikiRate.org, the Fashion Transparency Index scoring system, where each company can get a maximum of 250 points, has been converted to the 10-point scoring system - with 10 being the highest a company can score and 0 being the lowest. These company scores can also be translated to percentages e.g. if a company has scored 2.5 out of 10 on WikiRate, they have achieved 25% of the 250 points in the Fashion Transparency Index.
