The Amsterdam-based fashion market was created to solve the multi-billion-dollar industry problem of unsold inventory. Current production accounts for 12 percent, which is more than 200 billion US Dollars. The clothing that remains unsold in warehouses can end up in landfills, or even worse, it can be burned.
Otrium uses proprietary technology to work with fashion brands to find buyers for every piece of clothing. This helps to reduce the waste of clothing and allows brands of all sizes to set up an outlet store quickly through its managed marketplace.
