ThredUp

It's bills like Washington's new textile EPR legislation that not only highlight the urgent need for circularity, but create massive opportunities for resale. Established platforms like ThredUp, with our Resale-as-a-Service, are uniquely positioned to help brands navigate this shift and scale these environmentally effective solutions. #Resale #Circularity #EPR

Thank you to Melissa Daniels and Modern Retail for shedding light on the textile waste crisis and the solutions being explored, particularly through circular fashion. Collaboration between brands, policymakers, and consumers is crucial to creating a more sustainable and circular fashion system. To echo Rachel Van Metre Kibbe, CEO of ACT (American Circular Textiles), it's imperative for brands to actively engage in policy discussions to ensure the development of effective and sustainable solutions.

Thrifters using our new AI shopping features are 65% more likely to get an item that they like. Our Chief Product and Technology Officer Dan DeMeyere says that with generative AI, ThredUp is on the path to becoming a personal thrift store for each of its customers. We're solving for the overwhelm that comes with a platform housing more than 4 million unique items at any given time, and it's just the beginning.

Both sides of the aisle seem serious about reprioritizing domestic business and manufacturing. In her latest OpEd, Rachel Van Metre Kibbe claims that we have a rare but narrow opportunity to lead the world in manufacturing once again by earmarking substantial funds for circular textiles, the next era of industrial manufacturing. “If we don’t capture this next wave of the Industrial Revolution, someone else will.”

The US Government Accountability Office just released a report on textile waste urging federal action to tackle textile recycling challenges and promote circularity. It is imperative the private sector understands why now is a critical moment to engage further on these issues, before costs for brands and retailers skyrocket. Join a webinar this Thursday led by ACT (American Circular Textiles), the policy coalition we’re proud to be part of, to learn how you can be part of the solution.
