How it Works
Every Fabric Credit you purchase represents 1 kilogram of fabric waste diverted from landfill or incineration.
One-time investments require a minimum purchase of 1,000 credits

Types of Credits
Fabricure's credits are categorised and priced according to activity. Fabric Credit values are determined based on a number of factors, including environmental benefits of the activity, social co-benefits, and cost of implementing the project.
Collection & Sorting Credits are generated from collecting used fabric from consumers, businesses, or landfills and sorting it into different categories based on its composition and condition.
Recycling Credits are generated by processing fabric that is no longer suitable for reuse into new products or the repurposing of this fabric for other uses.
Biogenic Credits represent the removal of fabric waste through the use of biogenic processes, such as the cultivation and utilisation of biological resources, including forests, crops, or soil.
