BVH offers circular services for the fashion industry through the resale, remanufacturing and recycling of textiles. It embraces the European vintage chain Beyond Retro (sister) and Bank and Vogue (parent), one of the world's largest wholesale dealers in used goods. In addition to their circular services, they offer custom toolkits for remanufacturing with post-consumer waste.

Tens of millions of tonns of textiles end up in landfill every year, and by 2030 it is expected that there will be near 150m tonnes of fashion waste. A circular system that allows the efficient use of resources, eliminating waste, is necessary.

BVH encompasses the European vintage chain Beyond Retro and Bank and Vogue, one of the world's largest wholesale dealers in used goods. The group supports global fashion brands by offering circular solutions at an industrial scale.

As mentioned by the company, some of the services include:

Components - BVH supplies customized components for “new” manufacturing made from post-consumer textiles or from products from brands such as manufacturing defects.

In 2018 BVH component and upcyling projects saved over 76,000 garments from landfill resulting in a net savings of approximately 200 Million liters of water and over 90 tonnes of CO2.
