Reselling clothes on platforms like Vinted and eBay can extend the life of garments and reduce the need for new production. However, the environmental benefit is often offset by the carbon emissions from individual shipping and the use of non-recyclable plastic packaging. While charity donations and textile banks offer different logistics profiles, the global fashion industry still struggles with overproduction. True sustainability requires addressing the root cause of consumption rather than relying solely on secondhand markets to manage waste.
