ACTIVITIES
Reducing logistics emissions and ultimately achieving completely fossil-free transport are important steps on the path to more sustainable consumption. However, the most significant emissions typically arise from the manufacturing of products. We want to make it easier, more attractive and more financially feasible to reuse goods. One concrete measure to promote this goal is Posti’s Circular Economy Venture. It supports companies in their circular economy businesses and helps them seize the business opportunities hidden in the circular economy.
In practice, Posti helps companies sell second-hand products either alongside new products or as a separate business. If all of this can be made easier, more companies will be able to add second-hand products to their selection making it easier for consumers to decide between buying new and second-hand products. To promote second-hand alternatives, we organised the Secondhand September campaign with some of our clients.
IMPACT
We have already multiple companies as clients we help to sell second hand with turnkey solution. The sales of second hand in Finland has been growing with three-digit numbers year over year. Every item getting a second life means avoiding emissions of newly produced item.
