It's been a minute since we returned from the European Outdoor Summit (EOS) in Cambridge, and we're still buzzing! The two-day event was filled with thought-provoking discussions and inspiring speakers, all set against the stunning backdrop of Cambridge—a city leading the way in active travel and environmental stewardship. 🌍🚲 Our CEO, Andrew Rough, joined Julian Lings , Sustainability Lead at VF Corp, delivered a talk on our exciting The North Face Renewed collaboration. Together, we've diverted countless garments from landfill, proving that sustainability can attract new customers and foster brand loyalty—50% of TNF Renewed customers had never shopped with The North Face before! ♻️✨ We also attended incredible sessions on industry challenges, from AI integration to European legislation. Stay tuned—next week, we’re sharing exclusive video content from the summit! 🎥 Annabel T.

Did buying a pair of shorts second-hand stop you buying a brand-new pair? Did you rent a dress instead of buying one new? Did you repair a well-loved item instead of replacing it? As the popularity of pre-loved, rental and repair markets continues to grow the perception around the benefits of these circular business models (CBMs) has sparked debate. ♻️ Quantifying these benefits is difficult. An article published by the The New York Times highlighted concern that renting clothing isn’t better for the environment than buying new due to the impact created during washing and shipping. 👗 💦 🚛 Introducing the second project in our Impact Innovation Fund: ♻️ Detangling Displacement Rates: ensuring consistency and robustness in avoided emission calculations for circular business models (CBM's). The level to which a purchase/rental/repair prevents a purchase of a new item is known as the ‘displacement rate’. For example, if half of pre-loved purchases prevented a brand-new purchase, there would be a displacement rate of 50%. WRAP has developed an independent methodology that can be used by a range of CBMs to calculate their displacement rate. 📈 This project aims to collect case studies from project partners SOJO, eBay, and ACS (Advanced Clothing Solutions) , with Vinted also recruited, to show how it can be applied and used as the sector-leading methodology. ➡️ Led by Sarah Key, the project will demonstrate how widespread adoption of the methodology would allow more accurate avoided emissions calculations and comparison across organisations. This will create greater consistency and transparency for those within the sector and for citizens. To find out more about this project and all our funded projects visit: https://lnkd.in/ebZBUGui
