Cleaning out your closet and reselling unwanted items keeps clothing in use and out of landfill. Shopping secondhand conserves resources by avoiding new clothing production, reducing carbon emissions, and energy and water consumption.
Buying (and wearing!) secondhand clothing instead of new reduces carbon emissions by an average of 25% (Green Story Inc.). thredUP’s Resale-as-a-Service (RaaS) platform is enabling resale at scale for some of the world’s largest retailers and brands.
By working together, thredUP and our partner brands can reach more consumers and recirculate more clothing to make an even greater positive impact on the planet.
