Reekom, an innovative player in re-commerce

The re-commerce market is experiencing rapid growth, driven by the need to reduce waste and give products a second life. Among the players transforming this trend, Reekom stands out as a true industrial and innovative pillar. With a strategy combining technology, craftsmanship, and large-scale deployment, the company is revolutionizing the management of returns and used inventory, particularly in fashion and furniture. By leveraging a model that is both ecological and profitable, Reekom enables brands and marketplaces such as Vinted, Back Market, and Vestiaire Collective to revalue their inventory while complying with the requirements of the AGEC law. In a context where environmental awareness increasingly guides consumer choices, this young player is establishing itself as a key player in re-commerce. The recent fundraising, exceeding €4 million, clearly illustrates its ability to combine social impact and economic profitability in the divide between second-hand and industrial products. Discover re-commerce, an innovative concept that’s revitalizing the market by enabling the responsible buying and selling of second-hand products. Explore the ecological and economic benefits of re-commerce and how it contributes to sustainable consumption.

Reekom isn’t just a resale platform: it’s a veritable reconditioning factory, focused on industrializing the sector. Unlike platforms like Leboncoin or Vinted, which simply connect sellers and buyers, Reekom invests in high-tech equipment to systematize and accelerate the process. As a result, it can process thousands of items of clothing or furniture per day, while guaranteeing their quality and hygiene. The company has designed an integrated approach, where each step, from sorting to repair and disinfection, is carried out with a focus on efficiency and sustainability. With a 3,500 m² reclamation center in La Courneuve, this industrialization is made possible thanks to solid financing provided by the Public Investment Bank, the Île-de-France Region, and private investors. In doing so, Reekom addresses both the challenges of managing online returns and the AGEC law, while offering a profitable and responsible business model.
