Every returned garment has a next life.
Gaia helps fashion brands turn returns and send-backs into circular inventory. Every item is routed to the highest-value next-life outcome: restock, archive resale, approved partner, or brand reuse, then tracked for sustainability accountability.
Customer submits
Customer initiates a return or send-back. Gaia captures condition data and generates a shipping label routed to the nearest recovery node.
