Sustainability at TagFindr
Give pre-loved fashion a second life
The fashion industry is one of the world's biggest polluters. TagFindr exists to change that — by making it easy to discover, reserve and buy second-hand clothing from thrift stores near you.
The problem we're tackling
Textile production is the world's 2nd most polluting industry — after oil — emitting around 1.2 billion tons of greenhouse gases a year. (Change, 2018)
Between 2000 and 2015 clothing production doubled, while the average garment's use fell by 36%. (Ellen MacArthur Foundation)
Fashion causes 9% of ocean microplastic pollution, consumes 215 trillion litres of water, and uses ~15,000 chemicals that linger in the environment for decades. (UNEP, 2025)
