sustainability through second-hand purchases

An essential aspect of the citizen flea markets is the promotion of the second-hand concept. The focus is on acquiring used goods, especially clothing. According to sustainability economy , the purchase of secondhand articles helps to save resources and protect the environment. This approach not only helps to reduce waste, but also leaves a positive ecological footprint.

Second hand purchases set an example against a throw-away company. They reduce the need for new productions that cause high environmental costs. The cultural acceptance of used clothing is growing, such as Circle Hand increasingly pay attention to the quality of the underlying materials. This development is in line with a more conscious way of life that targeted resource conservation.
