JOINING FORCES FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

Schibsted Second Hand Effect 2017

Joining forces for the environment

Every day millions of people buy and sell used items on Schibsted’s marketplaces around the world. Every time someone participates in secondhand trade it is an engagement for our common future. We call it the Second Hand Effect.

How we did it

The calculation of the climate savings from Schibsted’s ten participating marketplaces have been developed in close collaboration with IVL The Swedish Environmental Research Institute.

Together for a better future

There are more ways to reduce carbon emissions than being a part of secondhand trade. Conscious decisions and choices on how we live our everyday life can make an impact.

Making a difference

The global challenges we face are almost overwhelming. Today, more than seven billion people live on planet Earth and we all must share the resources.

The love of vintage fashion

Aurore in Paris had an idea to launch a fashion truck where she would sell vintage clothes. Through Leboncoin she found the perfect caravan that she turned into the “Cotton & Wild” shop.

Going downhill

Oussama spent the last three years checking Avito almost every day, hoping to find a bike he could afford. Then his day came – someone was selling a professional bike for only 500 dollars.

Finding the perfect bag

Daniel is a regular shopper at Blocket. He believes that we’re producing too many things that we don’t really need and he’s tired of the throw-away mentality.
