The digital platforms Manufy and re.store are enabling a shift towards more responsible production models in the textile and fashion industry. With support from Enterprise Europe Network (EEN), both ventures are enhancing transparency, circularity, and local production by linking environmentally conscious brands with verified sustainable manufacturers across Europe.

Manufy serves as a matchmaking platform for fashion brands and producers focused on ethical sourcing within the EU. It provides access to a verified network of manufacturers that comply with circular and low-impact practices. Meanwhile, re.store operates as a community-driven platform dedicated to making the fashion ecosystem more regenerative by encouraging reuse, small-batch production, and material recovery. Their collaboration with EEN has enabled international visibility, facilitated cross-border partnerships, and supported their growth in the sustainability space.

Key takeaways:

  • Platforms like Manufy and re.store are helping scale circular and ethical production in the textile industry.
  • EEN has played a critical role in their cross-border collaboration and business development.
  • Both initiatives contribute to reducing environmental impact and promoting socially inclusive practices in textile manufacturing.

These platforms exemplify how digital innovation and EU-wide support structures can accelerate sustainability in the textile ecosystem.
