Our Impact

We take pride in the positive impact our community is making on the world by increasing the desirability and accessibility of circular fashion for all. Buying and selling on Remi not only promotes the re use of clothing but also extends the lifespan of your wardrobe pieces, contributing to a more sustainable approach to fashion consumption.

Fast fashion crisis

Most New Zealanders are familiar with fast fashion and the problem of disposable clothing ending up in landfills. And despite the increase of clothing purchases per year, the frequency of wear for each garment is decreasing.

220 million

kilograms of clothing and textile waste ends up in landfills in New Zealand each year.

~10 tonnes

of clothing given to Op shops are landfilled each year in New Zealand

Of clothing and textiles globally is regenerated into new fibre for new clothes.

Why REMI?

Circularity is about creating a sustainable cycle where clothing is designed to be reused, repaired and recycled rather than discarded. By making resale more accessible and user friendly we hope to inspire a mindset shift when it comes to fashion. 

Community

Creating a supportive community of fashion lovers, fostering connections and a commitment to ethical fashion practices. All within a user-friendly platform enhancing the social experience.

Diversity

We celebrate the diverse fashion landscape by encouraging a wide range of clothing styles, brands and sizes. Accessiblity to clothing resale is for everyone to enjoy.

Circularity

We promote environmental responsibility by extending fashion item lifecycles, reducing waste, and encouraging sustainable consumption through clothing reuse.

The current crisis of fashion

There is not one ‘right’ way to make a positive impact in fashion – there is space for everyones unique set of ideas, skills and perspectives in the consious fashion movement. 

Our foundation
for the future

Fashion faces an overproduction issue, with over 100 billion garments made annually for 8 billion people worldwide. Opting for second-hand instead of new clothing cuts carbon emissions by 25%. At Remi, we’re committed to sustainable fashion and clothing reuse to mitigate the industry’s environmental impact.
