Patching clothes and shoes rather than throwing them away is the reflex that the government wants to establish among the French. In the textile sector, waste is a real scourge, with no less than 700,000 tonnes of clothing thrown away each year. To remedy this, find out how to benefit from this aid, paid in return for the repair or mending of your clothes.
SMEEOM has set up this service for specialized businesses in the region. In Beaumont-de-Lomagne, at Mon Horizon, you can benefit from an immediate reduction thanks to the Repair Bonus offered by Refashion.
Like the repair bonus already in place for electronic and electrical devices, this new government system aims to encourage consumers to have their clothes and shoes repaired. Called the “textile repair bonus”, it encourages the French to give a second life to their items to reduce waste. A dress with holes can be mended, a faulty sole glued back together, and in return for this gesture, you can benefit from financial assistance: €7 to repair a hole or tear, €10 to €25 to change a lining (simple or complex). ), €8 to €15 to replace a zipper depending on the size, and €6 to €8 to repair an undone seam.
So, don’t wait any longer to bring that pile of damaged clothes back to life! To find out more, contact Kimberley on 05 63 25 00 06.
