In recent years, a number of retailers have adopted the question of sustainable fashion.
Several retailers, including Asda, Primark, and M&S, accept used clothing through their recycling programmes, which enable consumers to return used garments in-store.
Selfridges partnered with the resale platform Vestiaire Collective to sell secondhand clothing in 2019.
The Depop social shopping app, which was established in 2011, and more recently Vinted and Asos Vintage, are examples of online sites that enable users to sell discarded clothing.
The reselling trend isn’t all about clothes. Ikea revealed earlier this year that it would go ahead with its plans to buy back and resell used furniture.
‘With a world with finite resources, circularity is becoming more and more important. It is one of the key elements to creating a more sustainable future and we salute Asda and others for helping people take another step in this direction.’
