Carousell Group’s circular economy impact

Secondhand trade is quietly reshaping consumption across Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Here is the estimated climate impact our community is making, one transaction at a time.

~262 million kg CO2e. That is the estimated amount of emissions our community potentially avoided in our most recent reporting period, compared to buying new.

Figures are estimates based on a consequential Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, conducted in partnership with Vaayu. Avoided emissions represent potential climate impact compared to purchasing equivalent new items, and are averages across transactions on Carousell, Laku6, REFASH, Mudah.my, Cho Tot, and LuxLexicon.

The things you no longer need can be exactly what someone else is looking for. When our community chooses secondhand over new, it does more than save money. It gives the item a second life and potentially reduces the climate impact that comes with producing something brand new.
