Every time you choose to buy a used item instead of something new, you’re not only saving money, but also making a choice that helps the environment.
At Adevinta, we are at the heart of the second-hand economy. We are leading the shift away from ‘linear consumption’, where we buy something new and then
dispose of it, to a more circular consumption, where we keep products and materials in continuous use by repairing, reusing and recycling. Adevinta makes it easy for people to reuse things. We call it the Second Hand Effect. Read more about it in our report.
