Last week, we were featured in Norrsken’s Impact/100. 💚 The list features 100 innovative impact startups from around the world, 49 of whom are based in Europe, and a remarkable 11 of them are based in Germany alone. 🇩🇪🌍 We are super proud that Vaayu remains firmly rooted in Europe’s thriving technology and sustainability scene, even as we’ve expanded out of Berlin to connect team members hailing globally from the Arctic Circle to the bottom of Latin America, and continue to grow our customer base to include North America, Asia and beyond. Well done to all businesses that are helping to drive Europe’s dynamic technology scene forward — it’s inspiring to be part of such a vibrant community working towards a better future!

It’s brilliant to see the second-hand market is growing, driven by growing consumer demand for sustainability as well as affordability. ♻ Despite this success, some business challenges remain, like building and retaining consumer trust as well as access to accurate carbon footprint tracking. By working together in the second-hand market, companies can ensure transparency and empower other brands to share verifiable data on the true impact of circular products. We’re ever grateful to our partners for the opportunity to play a part in driving recommerce success — a crucial part of the circular economy 💚 #secondhandseptember #stateofsecondhand #circulareconomy

For the second consecutive year, Otrium collaborated with Vaayu to analyze the environmental impacts associated with its off-price business model — a crucial contributor to the circular economy and becoming increasingly important with the rise of the EU ESPR. We built on last year’s analysis by including more environmental impact categories and refining the methodology to enhance both accuracy and granularity. Full methodology: https://lnkd.in/eVC-i5R9 🔗 A massive thanks to the Otrium team — including Rutger van Boxtel, Marlot Kiveron, Lara van Keller, Lovisa Rogbring and Sofia Stepanyuk — for trusting Vaayu with your impact calculations for the second year in a row! Together, we’re continuing to build one of the largest datasets on managing unsold inventory, enhancing the industry’s understanding of the life cycle of fashion products and supporting the shift towards a circular economy. #avoidedimpact #circulareconomy #espr
