Defects We Repair
We repair a wide range of defects found in garments and textiles. These defects can result from production errors, material flaws, or damage during handling. There are over 60 defect types, and our team is equipped to address most of them including the most common defects such as holes, tears, stains, shading, and misaligned seams.
We specialize in restoring the structural integrity and aesthetic appeal of garments. Our repairs are invisible and durable, ensuring that your products maintain their quality and meet the highest standards.
REPAIRING THE FASHION INDUSTRY
Here’s what our circular business model has achieved so far
For Manufacturers
The apparel industry faces growing regulatory pressure, such as the EU's Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), which holds fashion brands accountable for social and environmental impacts across their supply chains. Brands may need to suspend ties with non-compliant suppliers or face civil liability for unaddressed issues. Suppliers should be mindful of this potential risk.
We have an opportunity to turn this challenge into an advantage. By adopting a circular business model such as repairing, manufacturers can address the impact of pre-consumer waste on the environment and position themselves as a sustainable supply chain partner for fashion brands.
Compreli currently partners with over 300 leading apparel manufacturers across Asia and Africa, helping them stay ahead of pending regulations while delivering significant cost savings. By repairing and exporting rejected garments at full value instead of discarding them for scrap, manufacturers save on waste disposal costs and avoid the need to reproduce shortfall quantities—preventing production delays and chargebacks.
For Brands
Repairing pre-consumer textile waste offers significant environmental benefits by diverting waste from landfills, conserving resources, and addressing the shortage of natural fibers. Repairing just 3% of defective garments in a small facility can generate nearly USD 1 million in annual savings, and across an entire supply base, savings could approach a billion USD.
New regulations in the US, UK, and EU require fashion brands to audit and disclose their environmental impacts, making garment repair an increasingly essential service. Additionally, since repairs are largely manual, they create job opportunities. While the industry seeks costly innovations, garment repair remains a proven, high-potential solution.
For The Environment
Garment repair, with its rich history, has enormous potential to reduce both pre- and post-consumer fashion waste. By focusing on repairs rather than solely on recycling or repurposing, we can lessen the burden on recycling systems and contribute to a more sustainable industry.
Become part of a sustainable future
Circularity and profitability go hand in hand. We are building a network of like-minded partners across the fashion supply chain to scale our unique technology.

Waste isn’t waste until we waste it
Based on a study mapping out pre-consumer waste in 20 countries, across 1,200 manufacturers, it's estimated that up to 47% of all fibre entering the fashion value chain becomes waste across various stages of production, from fibre and yarn to fabric and the final garment.
Globally, we consume 100 billion garments annually, and according to this research, we could be generating an equivalent amount of waste. Explore the issue of pre-consumer waste and discover potential solutions to mitigate it.
