Criterion text
The supplier shall, in consultation with the contracting organization, decide which not worn-out textiles in the procuring range that can be taken back by the supplier for reuse1.
[At the start of the contract or other time decided by the contracting organization], the supplier shall be invited to a meeting with the contracting organization for dialogue and decision on which textiles are to be included. The supplier shall take back these textiles for the entire lifespan of the textile.
The supplier shall be able to annually report the amount of textiles returned in kilograms and which organizations that have received the textiles for reuse.
1Reuse refers to the reuse of textiles for the same purpose for which it was originally designed, but also re-design, re-make and the like where the textile is redesigned into something new.
Verification
The supplier's acceptance in the tender means that the contract terms will be fulfilled at the times specified in the contract. This can be followed up during the term of the contract.
Proposed follow-up
Follow up that textiles are taken back in accordance with the agreement reached with the supplier.
This can be done, for example, on an ongoing basis at follow—up meetings or in written reporting where it is stated how returned textiles have been handled. It must then appear:
- Which quantities in kilos that have been taken back
- Which organizations received the textiles for reuse
Information about the criterion
The contract term is used when the contracting organization wants to return textiles that are to be discarded to the supplier. If you have other ways of disposing of textiles that are to be discarded, for example the municipality's textile collection, the criterion shall not be used.
The supplier refers to the textile supplier who delivers textiles within the contract.
There are specific types of textiles that need to be handled separately, such as textiles that are contaminated with toxic substances or textiles that cannot be reused for reasons of confidentiality or safety. These include, for example, textiles for firefighters, police, and the military. Some of these textiles need to go to energy recovery and therefore shall not be covered by the requirement.
