What does it take to make repair work at scale? Skilled hands, for a start. And behind every repaired garment sits a system. Intake, assessment, tracking, logistics, and the data that proves clothing is staying in use. Building that system is the hardest part of scaling circularity. Kansen voor West helped us build it.

Kansen voor West is a European program that invests in the west of the Netherlands. It brings together the provinces of Noord-Holland, Zuid-Holland, Utrecht and Flevoland and the cities of Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht, powered by the European Regional Development Fund (EFRO). The program backs projects that strengthen innovation, speed up the transition to a circular economy, and open opportunities for people across the region.

Through Kansen voor West, we advanced the development of our repair platform. This is the digital backbone of United Repair Centre. It connects partner brands, consumers, and our tailors in one flow. A repair gets registered, assessed, tracked, and returned, with every step visible to the brand and every repair adding to the data that shows garments staying in use.

The impact goes beyond the tech itself. Every new partner brand used to need its own custom setup. With the platform, onboarding gets simpler, repairs move faster, and our tailors can focus on what they do best, the craft.

This is what we mean by paving the infrastructure for circularity. When the system behind repair becomes easy to plug into, repair becomes a natural part of how brands operate. More repairs mean more garments staying in use, and more job opportunities for people facing barriers to the labour market.
