Rehome Platform: Creating A Circular Economy For Retailers

• Rehome Platform: the integrated, preloved, sustainable marketplace for retailers

Each year more than 670,000 tonnes of furniture enter landfill or the incinerator, of which most is still usable. Coupled with a rapid and continuing surge in consumer demand for preloved items, retailers are now being left behind in the second-hand marketplace.

With preloved tripling in growth, faster than the first-hand market, Rehome Platform gives retailers the opportunity to manage their returns, overstock and end of line items by integrating the Rehome technology, which lists these items directly on to their marketplace for resale.

Founders, Carly Downer and Marc Downer, have dedicated the past year to extensive research, refining their vision to create Rehome. They have a single goal which is to ensure more items are rehomed and less items end up in landfill or the incinerator and to do this they want to work with retailers directly to help them solve this problem.

Create your own circular economy with Rehome's complete sustainable marketplace, loaded with customer centric features that will improve brand loyalty, drive revenue and fully automate logistics.

Rehome Platform creates a true circular economy for retailers as it enables peer-to-peer buying and selling and allows brands to sell their overstock and returns, which means more items get rehomed vs. entering landfill or incineration.  

Steve Collinge, Insight DIY's Managing Editor and International Speaker and Expert on the Home & Garden Industry, comments:

With sustainability now high priority for every Home and Garden retailer, I’m surprised that the majority of these businesses continue to turn a blind eye to the clearance of their returns, damaged products and end of lines.

Each year in the UK more than 670,000 tonnes of furniture enter landfill or the incinerator, of which most is still usable, and yet at the same time, we know there is rapid growth in consumer demand for preloved items

What I can’t understand, is why we don’t have a Vinted type marketplace for sofas and furniture?

The good news is - I think I may just have found it.
