About United Repair Centre

At United Repair Centre we consider ourselves to be social pioneers on a mission to repair the clothing  industry, by putting people first, one garment at a time. We have three main goals in doing this:

Goal 1: To create job opportunities for people distanced to the labor market

Goal 2: To reduce textile waste

Goal 3: Do it at scale to really change the system

URC offers B2B clothing life-extension services such as Repair, ReNew and ReMake programmes. These programmes enable brands and retailers to achieve their circularity goals and comply with legislation. In this model, every item processed is less textile waste, less virgin items produced and a job for passionate craftspeople. URC is powered by Tech, the URC Repair Management platform is a SaaS platform that truly lowers the barrier for brands to join the re-use movement and enables them to create value out of it.

Founded in 2022, URC is now operating in Amsterdam and London, approx. 40 FTE in total and with a client portfolio of over 20 global A-brands. With the expectation of high market growth, URC is preparing to scale and become the market leader in its market segment.
