Partnership with Manufy
It Goes Forward teams up with Manufy to explore sustainable returns for fashion retailers.
By Carl van Heijst
We're excited to announce our partnership with Manufy, the sustainable fashion production platform. Together we're exploring how peer-to-peer returns can further reduce the environmental footprint of the fashion supply chain.
Manufy connects fashion brands with responsible manufacturers; Forwarding tackles the other end of the product lifecycle, where return volumes still destroy billions in value every year. The overlap matters: a brand that has invested in responsible sourcing does not want its sustainability story undone by warehouse round-trips and write-offs. Making Forwarding available through Manufy's network gives brands a complete loop, from responsible production to responsible returns.
The partnership is still in its early days. The first step is introducing Forwarding to Manufy's retailer community and integrating for the brands that want to pilot it.
