Frequently Asked Questions about Sustainability

Common questions from the reselling community

How does resale help the environment?
Resale extends the lifecycle of clothing, reducing textile waste and the environmental impact of new production. The fashion industry is responsible for 10% of global carbon emissions, and resale helps mitigate this by keeping clothes in circulation longer.
What is circular fashion?
Circular fashion is an approach to clothing design, production, and consumption that minimizes waste and maximizes resource use. It includes practices like resale, rental, repair, and recycling to keep materials in use as long as possible.
Are sustainable fashion and resale the same?
While related, they're not identical. Resale is one component of sustainable fashion, which also includes ethical production, eco-friendly materials, fair wages, and reduced consumption overall.
