In June, our QA Lead Bettu S joined the Namma Shivamogga team - made up of the Forest Department, local villagers, and school children - in a drive to enhance groundwater conservation and green cover by planting trees.

Did you know that liquid shampoo only came about in 1927? About 80% of the contents of a current shampoo bottle is water. This works out to ~14,400 liters of water per 40 foot shipping container, which makes one wonder how much water in plastic bottles we're shipping around the world. But what's the alternative to liquid shampoos and soaps? And are they worth changing our hygiene routines for? Our COO Michael Seiji Schindler offers his thoughts and shares his own sustainability habits in the post below.

🛍 Why are affluent shoppers flocking to discount retailers like T.J. Maxx and Marshalls? Here are three key takeaways: ✅ The Thrill of the Hunt: Wealthy shoppers enjoy the excitement of finding great deals on designer items. It's not just about saving money but the joy of discovering high-value goods at a fraction of their original price. ✅ Changing Perceptions: The social stigma that once surrounded shopping at discount stores is fading. Affluent shoppers no longer feel the need to hide their bargain-hunting habits. Instead, they openly share their finds and take pride in their ability to score deals on luxury items. ✅ Accessible Luxury: Discount retailers like T.J. Maxx and Marshalls bridge the gap between luxury and affordability. They offer a way for consumers to access high-end brands without paying full price, making designer fashion more accessible to a broader audience. By acquiring surplus designer goods from boutiques and struggling luxury retailers, these stores provide an opportunity to enjoy high-quality items at reduced prices, which continues to attract a diverse customer base. At Pollen, we leverage data and technology to help brands dynamically price unsold and surplus inventory and capture opportunities across various markets. As the retail landscape evolves, the success of discount retailers underscores the growing demand for value-driven shopping experiences. #Pollen #Sustainable #Liquidation

Ever wondered about the true sustainability of reusable grocery bags? ♻ ✅ Despite their eco-friendly reputation, reusable bags may have a higher carbon footprint if not utilized efficiently. ✅ Meanwhile, many shoppers fail to maximize the potential of their reusable bags and opt for frequent replacements instead. ✅ To make a real difference, it's crucial to prioritize reusing existing bags rather than continuously acquiring new ones. In the context of sustainable liquidation for businesses dealing with excess and overstock, this underscores the significance of optimizing existing resources. Just as reusing bags is essential for environmental preservation, effectively managing surplus inventory can minimize business waste and uphold sustainability objectives. 👉 Pollen is here to help you manage your stocks better by automating work streams, unlocking the power of pricing analytics, and empowering teams to take action for more sustainable outcomes.

🛍 How is this South African entrepreneur promoting sustainability in township grocery shopping? - Reducing Plastic Waste: Gcwalisa's "weigh and pay" model eliminates the need for excessive plastic packaging, contributing to a significant reduction in plastic waste in township communities. - Efficient Resource Use: By sourcing goods directly from manufacturers and selling them in bulk, Gcwalisa optimizes resource utilization, minimizing the environmental impact associated with packaging and transportation. - Long-Term Impact: By democratizing access to affordable, nutritious food and essential home-care goods, Gcwalisa addresses socio-economic inequalities while promoting sustainable consumption patterns that prioritize environmental stewardship. At Pollen, we support sustainability by offering surplus inventory from big brands at lower prices. This prevents waste and makes products more accessible to consumers to encourage more sustainable consumption patterns. Plus, we help brands manage their supply chains better, cutting down on disposal and lowering their environmental impact.
