Why should you consider listing your products on Little Gives?

There are considerable benefits to utilising a swap site to give and grab used kids’ products. Here are 10 reasons to consider using a kids’ swap site for giving and grabbing kids’ products:

– “More than 183 million items of kids’ clothing are thrown into landfill each year.“

– “According to the Council for Textile Recycling, the average American throws away 70 pounds of clothing and other textiles annually.“

– “For every five garments produced, the equivalent of three ends up in a landfill or incinerated each year.“

– “The fashion industry is the second most polluting industry in the world.“

– “The production of clothes has many negative effects. For instance, a cotton t-shirt requires 660 gallons of water (which represents what a single person drinks in 3 years), and produces 11 pounds of greenhouse gases (the equivalent of 11 miles with a car).“

– “The fashion industry is responsible for 10% of annual global carbon emissions, more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined. At this pace, the fashion industry’s greenhouse gas emissions will surge more than 50% by 2030.“

– “It is estimated that the modern consumer purchases 400% more clothing than they did just two decades ago.“

– “For every 1kg of clothing that is produced, 1kg of chemicals, in the form of dyes, fabric treatments and starches, will be used. The remnants of these chemicals either disperse into the air we breathe or seep into our rivers and oceans, poisoning natural ecosystems in the process.“

– “More than $500 billion worth of value is lost every year when clothing is thrown away instead of donated or recycled. That amounts to three out of every five fast fashion items ending up in a landfill.“

– “In this country, we buy 56 items of clothing per person per year, it’s an alarming level of consumption“

Listing your used kids’ products on Little Gives will reduce items going to landfill, reduce resources needed to create more ‘stuff’ and provide a positive contribution to your community.
