Elli Share Urban Recycling

Clothes that no longer spark joy in one closet could be treasures in another! Over 10 million tonnes of clothing are dumped into landfill in North America each year. Metro Vancouver alone saw 20,000 tonnes of clothing waste last year, including many still in great condition. More and more consumers wish to shop sustainably, but the options for second-hand clothes are limited in Canada. An Elli Share founder felt frustrated when buying a used pair of boots on one of the online platforms: scheduling with the seller took many days; and the product condition was uncertain. On the flip side, many people hold onto the clothes that they no longer wear, because they are too busy to sell these items. In the end, we are left with closets full of untapped resources. Our Solution Realizing that we can help address both sides of the problems, Elli Share was born. Elli Share believes that there is an easier way to buy and sell preloved clothes online. We wish to be the bridge between consignors and buyers and create a seamless shopping experience for our customers. Second-hand shopping can be first class too. 😉 Let’s circulate our closets and extend the lives of our garments.
