China’s secondhand apparel market exceeds RMB 100 billion, growing over 15% annually, while the global market topped USD 300 billion in 2024 and may double by 2030. Branded clothes, including fast fashion (UR, H&M, Uniqlo) and luxury brands (GUCCI, Nike, Adidas), make up over 40% of China’s secondhand market with strong overseas demand.
Despite massive production, much nearly new branded apparel is discarded, with only 15% recycled, wasting resources. Overseas buyers face challenges like mixed quality, brand filtering, and unstable supply—especially for vintage, branded sneakers, and luxury bags.
Generation Z (1995–2010) drives secondhand demand, valuing personalization, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. To tackle these issues, Indetexx launched the “RECYDOC” Recycling System, offering a stable, traceable, high-quality supply chain for global buyers.

Transparent Recycling and Acceptance Process
The RECYDOC system uses digital management covering courier receipt, inbound registration, backend scanning, and quality inspection photography—each step fully traceable to ensure authenticity and consistency.
Order Quality Requirements
Apparel and shoes must be free of mildew, fading, damage, aging, pilling, deformation, stains, dyeing, or yellowing, with all accessories intact. Only items meeting these criteria proceed further to ensure buyers receive high-quality goods.
Courier Receipt and Initial Inspection
Package integrity and quantity are verified upon receipt. Any abnormalities are immediately recorded and handled, ensuring traceability.
Inbound Registration and Verification
Package information is entered into the system, courier tracking numbers are scanned, and orders automatically matched, confirming brand, category, and quantity accuracy.
Unpacking, Inspection, and Sorting
Warehouse staff carefully open packages, perform initial appearance checks on each item, and sort them to prevent mixing and maintain orderliness.
Quality Inspection and Photo Documentation
Inspectors conduct comprehensive testing according to standards, including appearance, functionality, hygiene, and material safety. Non-Grade A items require six-angle photos uploaded to the system. Inspection data and price adjustments synchronize in real-time, ensuring full transparency. Only excellent-quality items meeting standards are accepted for recycling, guaranteeing superior source quality.
System Synchronization and Full-Process Traceability
Inspection information automatically syncs to the backend system. Buyers can access inspection status and photos anytime via order numbers. All processes maintain electronic records, achieving full digital traceability from receipt to shipment.
