Sustainability

Second‑hand extends the life of clothing and reduces waste. Kiim is built to make re‑use easy—so good items stay in circulation longer.

Why resale matters

  • Less textile waste from “closet cleanouts”.
  • Lower demand for new production when existing items are reused.
  • More affordable access to quality brands and materials.

What Kiim encourages

  • Honest condition: accurate descriptions reduce unnecessary shipping and disputes.
  • Repair‑friendly listings: small imperfections can be disclosed and priced accordingly.
  • Reusable packaging: when shipping, prefer recyclable or reusable materials.

Practical tips for more sustainable selling

  1. Wash/clean items before listing and shipping.
  2. Photograph flaws so buyers can make informed decisions.
  3. Bundle items when possible to reduce deliveries per purchase.

Community and trust

Sustainability works best with trust—accurate listings and respectful communication keep transactions smooth. If you see behavior that harms the community, use reporting tools and keep transactions on‑platform.
