Amelia Eleiter is the Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Debrand Services, the leading provider of reverse logistics solutions for apparel and footwear brands. Amelia and Co-founder Wes Baker launched Debrand to help companies extend the life of their products — and the precious resources used to make them — as many times and ways possible. Each year, approximately 92 million tons of textile waste ends up in landfills or are incinerated.
Dedicated to educating brands and consumers on how they can take actions to reduce and prevent textile waste, Amelia is passionate about advocating tech-enabled solutions that help accelerate the circular economy. Debrand’s tech-enabled sortation process and comprehensive network of re-commerce, recycling and responsible disposal partners offers unique and innovative reverse logistics solutions — helping many of North America’s top apparel and footwear brands unlock the highest-value of their products by extending the life of the products and strengthening their whole supply chain to prevent waste problems before they happen.
