This article explains what Swap Recycle is and the key benefits and features it offers merchants.


What is Swap Recycle?

Swap Recycle helps you responsibly dispose of or repurpose returned products that can't be resold, integrating directly into your existing returns process.


Key benefits

  • Reduces waste — extends the life of returned products through recycling and repurposing, cutting the volume sent to landfill.

  • Creates a revenue stream — repaired or repurposed items that would otherwise be written off as waste can be resold, recovering some of their value.

  • Builds brand trust — a visible commitment to sustainability strengthens customer loyalty and can differentiate your brand.


Features

  • Repairs integration — minor repairs and fixes extend a product's usable life instead of it being discarded.

  • Global recycling network — vetted recycling partners handle inspection and responsible disposal of unsellable items.

  • Re-wear and resale programmes — options to resell or recirculate returned items rather than write them off.

  • Streamlined integration — works within your existing returns process, with no disruption to day-to-day operations.


Getting started

Swap Recycle is set up per merchant based on your product range and returns volume. Contact your Swap account manager to discuss whether it's a fit for your brand.
