The Impact of Choosing Used:

• Shopping secondhand avoids the carbon, waste, and water footprints generated from producing new garments. In fact, buying - and wearing - secondhand clothes instead of new reduces carbon emissions by an average of 25%.*

• Haley learned more about her own fashion footprint by taking thredUP's Fashion Footprint Calculator**, a personalized tool designed to teach consumers if their habits are as sustainable as they think, how their choices fit into the larger fashion ecosystem, and how to reduce their footprint.

• The tool was inspired by thredUP's 2023 Resale Report, which found that 63% of Gen Z and Millennials believe they can reduce their individual footprint.

thredUP's Fashion Footprint Calculator offers simple, actionable tips for reducing your footprint. In just three minutes, you can learn what habits make the biggest difference when it comes to making your closet - and the fashion industry - more sustainable.

Young consumers' love of thrift is helping power a more circular future:

• According to thredUP's 2023 Resale Report, thrift continues to increase in closet share as young consumers increasingly value sustainability:

  • 2 in 5 items in Gen Z's closet are secondhand.

  • 47% of Gen Z refuse to buy from non-sustainable apparel brands and retailers (up 11 points from 2021).

  • 61% of Gen Z and millennials consider themselves eco-conscious or sustainably-focused, compared to 51% of consumers overall.

  • 56% of Gen Z and millennials say they would forgo the latest trends in favor of a one-of-a-kind look.

** Fashion Footprint Calculator Methodology: thredUP partnered with 3rd party life cycle assessment specialists Green Story Inc. to measure the footprint of garments under both linear and secondhand use systems in terms of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted, energy, and water consumed for each wear. The impacts and savings compared to linear systems are estimated based on the independent LCA study conducted by Green Story Inc. For the data, Green Story leveraged peer-reviewed studies, verified datasets, primary operational data from thredUP and supply chain databases to analyze each garment category. Consumer surveys were also performed to analyze consumer behavior towards the usage and disposal of clothing types, including the efficiency of the reuse of secondhand garments by examining the displacement rate. For example, the surveys found that not every secondhand garment purchased completely replaces a new purchase, this only happens 72% of the time. View all sources here.
