Spotlight: ThredUp - Empowering the Resale Revolution

Meet ThredUp… movement maker in apparel resale and the #SeeingGreen Solutionist of the Day for September 4 (our 200th Solutionist!)

In this Spotlight series episode, we unzip the oversized carbon footprint of fashion— and spotlight one of the original pioneers making secondhand shopping both seamless and stylish: ThredUp.

From their humble beginnings in 2009 to becoming a resale powerhouse with over 172 million items recirculated, ThredUp has helped turn closet cleanouts into climate action. We explore how their Clean Out Kits reduce friction for sellers, why brands like Gap and Reformation trust ThredUp to power their resale programs and how their Resale Report is shaping the industry conversation.

Whether you’re a thrifter, a sustainability nerd, or just curious how to give clothes a second life, this one’s for you.
