Genumark works closely with clients to find the most responsible solution when merchandise may no longer be needed, and prioritizes diverting items from the landfill whenever possible. In Canada, it partners with Brands for Canada to donate, debrand, or downcycle unwanted merchandise. For apparel items in the U.S., it collaborates with Everywhere Apparel, a circular solutions provider that can recycle or downcycle garments based on their material makeup.
