An ecosystem to strengthen

Aware that changes to our manufacturing, marketing and consumption methods can only evolve by working hand in hand with a group of experts, the Eram Group has surrounded itself with a varied and academic ecosystem to accelerate its transition.

The Eram Group is a member of the Positive Impacts Chair, alongside Audencia (a leading business school in Nantes). This chair is an opportunity to join a network of research professors, students and various companies working to change business models, moving towards ecological transition.

The Eram Group is a member of the Bali Chair, with Estia (an engineering school based in Bidart), a teaching and research programme on the technological innovations of the future in the clothing and footwear industry. Innovative work based on new business models is underway involving recycling, circularity, traceability and on-demand manufacturing. Through this partnership, the Eram Group is actively contributing to the development of a European shoe recycling industry.

As part of its Change for Good corporate project, the Eram Group is one of the first partners to work with CETIA (industrial demonstrator) to optimise the circular model of clothing and shoes. Located in Nouvelle- Aquitaine, CETIA is Europe's leading innovation platform and is dedicated to the preparation of materials for clothing and shoe recycling.

Our eco-organisations

The eco-organisations were set up under the EPR law (Extended Producer Responsibility) to carry out prevention initiatives, collect eco-taxes and manage the end-of-life of products. Eco-organisations are non-profit bodies, approved by public authorities on the basis of precise specifications to carry out their mission.

Citeo is the eco-organisation for household paper and packaging. Citeo is funded by manufacturers and marketers to reduce the environmental impact of household packaging and paper by reducing, reusing and recycling it.

The Eram Group is a member of the RE-FASHION Board of Directors. RE-FASHION is the eco-organisation for the clothing and footwear sector. It works on behalf of companies in the sector to prevent and manage the end-of-life of items, using the eco-contributions paid. At the heart of the textile, clothing, linen and footwear industry, Re-fashion offers tools, services and information to facilitate and accelerate the transition to a circular economy.
