Sustainability and second hand

Second-hand markets are particularly popular in times when people want to use resources more and more consciously. How Climate protection municipality reports, the market for second-hand clothing has almost tripled since 2020. More and more people are consciously choosing used fashion to not only save money, but also to take a stand against the growing fast fashion industry.

The advantages of second-hand are numerous: less packaging waste, conservation of resources and a reduction in waste. Second-hand clothing is often of higher quality and cheaper than the new goods from the big chains. Nevertheless, voices like that of Professor Jochen Strähle encourage us to remain critical, as purchasing several second-hand items can sometimes indirectly support the production of new clothing.
