Glovo: backpacks & uniform upcycling.

REZET Global did the upcycling. REZET Hub worked alongside them on the metrics, so Glovo could share its impact with a record behind every figure.

Proof

Dismantled at the depot, sewn back into use.

Glovo invested in transforming the material rather than paying for its disposal, putting the budget into craftsmanship, durability and a product with genuine material value.

The material had more value left in it. With creativity, innovation and a trained eye, what others see as waste can be recognised for what it still has to offer, then redesigned around a new purpose without losing the story of where it came from.

Evidence

Making Impact Traceable, Transparent & Verifiable.

1,027 delivery bags systematically dismantled at an 87% recovery rate, and 397 m² of uniform textile reclaimed.

REZET Global did the upcycling. REZET Hub worked alongside them on the metrics, so Glovo could share its impact with a record behind every figure.

01

Reached before the skip

Recovery ran inside the depot on the clearance timetable, because once a closing operation books a waste collection the material stops being available.

02

A bag is several materials

Insulation, structure and outer shell separated by component, which is the step that decides whether anything can be made at all.

03

Built from what survived

Tote bags, backpacks and pouches specified around the panels that came out intact, instead of forcing the material into a predefined catalogue.

04

87% recovered, and the rest declared

The recovery rate is recorded against what entered, together with 397 m² of uniform textile. The 13% that did not recover is stated, not omitted.

Outcome

From a closing depot to objects still in use.

1,027 delivery bags at an 87% recovery rate and 397 m² of uniform textile. Both streams were upcycled into tote bags, backpacks and pouches — recovered in the few weeks a depot clearance allows. Made by 12 people in social impact workshops.

Why measure

An impact claim is only as strong as its record.

  • Every figure in an impact report should trace back to what was actually recovered, weighed and made.
  • When the metrics are built together with the operator, the report is ready to share with clients and sustainability teams.
