Environmental Impact – Carbon Offset
How does clothing resale offset carbon?
Reselling secondhand clothing keeps textiles out of landfills and reduces the need for new manufacturing.
Average CO₂e emissions avoided per kg reused: ~3.6 kg CO₂e per kg reused
(Ellen MacArthur Foundation, WRAP, or EPA).
Estimated Carbon Offset Calculation:
○ 1 metric ton ≈ 2,205 lbs
○ Using 3.6 kg CO₂e saved per kg: 26,154,000 kg CO₂e/year = 26,154 metric tons CO₂e offset per year
“What Does This Mean?” – Putting it in Perspective
Equivalent to removing over 5,600 cars from the road for a year (EPA: 1 car ≈ 4.6 metric tons CO₂e/year)
Enough energy saved to power 3,300 homes for a year (EPA avg. home energy use)
Diverting the equivalent weight of 1,600 adult elephants from landfill
