How selling your items helps save our planet

There was a time when selling your unused clothes and accessories seemed like a major inconvenience to your time. But thanks to technology, you now have platforms like ours that enable you to add you items for sale in just a few minutes. But the upside to selling secondhand isn’t just financial. You’re also making a sustainable choice that has a positive impact on the environment. So while your fashion choices may seem harmless and effortless, what you choose to wear affects more than how you look in the mirror. As you may or may not know, the fashion industry is the 2nd largest consumer of the world’s water supply with up to 79 trillion liters of water consumed per year to make garments, and more than 10% of annual global carbon emissions. That’s why shopping secondhand is so important.

Yearly Zadaa’s community of sellers help ensure that we save 1.7 billion liters of water.
This is the equivalent of:

  • 22,2 million showers.
  • 1,58 million people’s annual water intake.
  • 570 Olympic size swimming pools filled with water.

Along with reducing a whopping 1,2 million tonnes of CO2!
This is the equivalent of:

  • The CO2 emission of 306.600 cars driving for 1 day.
  • The CO2 emission produced by 63.145 European citizens for 1 day
  • Or 1 person taking 15.000 flights from Copenhagen to Berlin.

Selling secondhand is helping towards making a greener future for all of us, and If that’s not enough motivation to rummage through your closet and start selling your unused items then we don’t know what is.
