Millions of products are already in circulation: what if we used them first, rather than buying new ones?
Our goal
How To Buy Nothing New
Many alternatives exist: renting, buying secondhand, repairing … and this for any type of products!
Why Buy Nothing New?
Reducing our purchases of new products helps us consume more sustainably and in a way that is comptabible with our social and environment concerns.
