We believe in a world where buying second-hand clothes is everyone’s first choice.
Why?
The fashion industry is one of the world's biggest polluters.
100 billion new items of clothing are made every year
Fashion emits more CO2 every year than aviation and maritime shipping combined
73% of clothes produced worldwide go to landfill
Just 1% of clothes manufactured are recycled into new clothes
To stay within 1.5°C warming by 2050, we need to reduce emissions by 45% by 2030. The fashion industry alone could prevent us from achieving net zero.
Thrift+ exists to accelerate
the circular fashion economy.
Rather than the linear model of the past, where most of the new clothes we buy end up in landfill, we’re creating the circular model of the future while raising important funds for charities.
We help people to re-sell and buy the best second-hand clothes to give them a new life.
We work closely with retailers and other partners, sharing our tools and approach so we can make a bigger difference together.
Our carefully designed operations & technology means we can rapidly process and sell clothes online, removing the barrier that has stopped second-hand retail taking off in the past.
Thrift+ turns second-hand sales into a force for good...
...by raising funds for charity with every sale. The majority of us already donate our second-hand clothes to charities. We want to supercharge the impact of that generosity. We ask every seller to nominate a chosen charity to benefit from their sales on Thrift+.
