While we are keen to move towards a truly circular system in the future where we reuse old materials in new products, we also want to extend the life of each product as much as possible. 

Therefore, we have introduced a take-back scheme in collaboration with Create2STAY, offering customers the chance to hand in their old hummel garments and footwear in exchange for hummel loyalty points. The items will be cleaned, repaired if necessary, and resold on an online platform. Items in a non-sellable condition will be reused for other purposes - to the extent possible.
