## Sustainability story

The resale industry inherently offers a more environmentally responsible alternative to traditional retail. Naturally, we were driven to push the boundaries and establish ourselves as the foremost eco-conscious thrift company. Our inspiration stems from our founder, Kyle Evans, who was deeply influenced by his son's passion for wildlife, particularly sea turtles. This profound connection has shaped our identity.

In collaboration with organizations such as Climate Neutral and 1% for The Planet, as well as our commitment to employing compostable & recycled shipping packaging, we have achieved the remarkable milestone of being the most sustainable thrift company on the planet.
