In celebration of Earth Month, branded resale platform Recurate announces a series of innovative customer activations promoting more sustainable shopping practices, including the exchange of secondhand items.
Recurate CEO & Co-Founder Wilson Griffin says, “Our data shows 73% of recommerce customers both buy and sell secondhand, participating in the full circular fashion loop. Our brand partners’ Earth Month activations further empower, encourage and educate these customers to engage in resale for a more sustainable future.”
