Carrefour launches the sale of second-hand clothing
Carrefour, the multinational distribution chain of French origin, opened two corners in Madrid and Barcelona, Spain, to sell second-hand clothing and thus promote the circular textile economy, a strategy that seeks to reduce both the entry of virgin materials and production of waste, closing the economic and ecological flows of resources.
Carrefour's two second-hand clothing outlets are managed together with Patapam, a company specializing in second-hand clothing that has managed to market more than 4,000 units of clothing for women, men and children.
Carrefour decided to join this business because it aims to promote the actions it is carrying out to contribute to the environment, raise public awareness and promote responsible consumption of clothing.

It should be noted that the distribution company had previously joined The Fashion Pact, an agreement signed by several companies to reduce the carbon footprint of the fashion industry. Since then, Carrefour has been developing various sustainable initiatives to curb the negative impact of these industries.
Given this, the company expects that the natural raw materials of its textile brand products will be 100% sustainable by 2030. And by 2025 it estimates that 50% of its cotton TEX garments will be Bio. In addition, they are adding commitments so that in 2023 all their garments guarantee animal welfare.
Every day there are more companies that join the sustainable trend that seeks to care for the environment. For its part, Carrefour continues to work on all aspects of its business to promote sustainability, such as the commitment to reduce greenhouse gases, the commitment to renewable energies and also the marketing of more sustainable products.
