🌱 Why secondhand children's clothing is more sustainable – and how Kleiderkarussell contributes to this 👶♻️

Did you know that clothing production is one of the biggest burdens on our environment? 🌍 A single cotton T-shirt requires around 2,700 liters of water 💧 – that's equivalent to about 30 full bathtubs. Add to that CO₂ emissions 🚛, chemicals used in production 🧪, and huge mountains of waste 🗑️ when clothes are disposed of.

This is particularly problematic when it comes to children's clothing : Since children grow quickly 🚀, trousers, shirts and shoes are often only worn for a few months.

🌍 Sustainability begins in the wardrobe

The good news: Together we can do something about it! ✨ Instead of constantly buying new clothes, it's worth looking at secondhand children's clothing . By passing on and reusing clothes, we extend the life cycle of each item and thus save:

• 💧 Water – because no new cotton needs to be grown

• 🌿 Resources – because less energy is needed for production and transport

• 🗑️ Garbage – because less clothing is thrown away

🎠 The clothing carousel principle

With Kleiderkarussell we have created a platform that lives exactly this idea:

• 📦 Families can send us their children's clothes that no longer fit.

• 🧼 Each garment is carefully checked, sorted and put online.

• 🛒 Buyers will find a large selection of used baby and children's clothes here – from bodysuits and jackets to children's shoes.

This creates a cycle ♻️ in which clothing is passed from family to family. This is not only practical but also sustainable 💚.

👶 Why second hand makes sense, especially for children's clothing

• Children often grow out of their clothes faster than they wear out.

• Second hand means: almost new clothes at a much cheaper price 💰.

• At the same time, families are making a contribution to environmental protection 🌱.

🚀 Our goal
