About DeBrand

Founded in 2008 by Amelia Eleiter and Wes Baker in Sri Lanka, DeBrand was inspired by the sight of branded waste in pristine waters. On returning to Canada, they identified a market gap where brands discarded valuable products due to inefficient logistics. With a mission to maximize the value from the world’s finite resources, DeBrand became a leader in apparel reverse logistics, serving top North American apparel retailers.
