PATINA has been shortlisted in The Future of Our Planet category at the 2026 Investec Early-Stage Entrepreneur of the Year Awards (the ESEYs), presented by OPUS and Investec.
We're incredibly proud to be recognised alongside founders building for a better planet.
Why PATINA is in The Future of Our Planet category
Fashion's biggest environmental problem is how quickly products are thrown away. PATINA is the post-purchase operating system for fashion and luxury brands, built on Digital Product Passports. It helps products last longer, earn more and leave less waste behind, by connecting every item to care, repair, resale and take-back for its whole life.
Our research shows that around 8 in 10 consumers want access to take-back, resale and repair through the product itself.
Vote for PATINA
Public voting is open until 29 October 2026, and it takes less than a minute.
