Impact
Brands
Reuse Fashion Returns
The fashion return market is expected to reach $500 billion by 2030, according to BCG. Returns cost brands billions in lost revenue—and many of those items end up in landfills, harming the environment. Rimoda is the first platform that helps brands turn returns into profit while reducing waste
Consumers
Repurpose Unwnated Fashion
One in two people throw away unwanted clothes. Sustainable options are limited—donating or selling on peer-to-peer platforms, both of which are becoming outdated and inconvenient. Rimoda offers a smarter alternative: customers can instantly monetize their unwanted clothes and give them a second life by shopping fashion returns at low prices through the Rimoda network. It’s a simple way to reduce waste and extend the life cycle of fashion
Society
Recreate Free Fashion
Free fashion can be a future-fit solution to extend product life cycles—but making it sustainable requires strong consumer engagement and a profitable model to cover operational costs. Rimoda’s circular business model makes this possible. By combining impact-first thinking with a for-profit approach, Rimoda enables the scale and viability of free fashion at the core of its operations.
The unemployed
Reintegrate into Employment
Rimoda aims to grow into a social movement for good. As part of its mission, Rimoda will supply free collected fashion to its network stores—on the condition that they hire unemployed individuals as sales staff. The goal is to support reintegration into the Dutch job market in a way that’s simple, sustainable, and empowering
Enviroment
Reduce CO2 Emissions
The fashion industry is one of the world’s biggest polluters. Rimoda aims to cut CO2 emissions by creating a transparent, traceable system for fashion returns and unwanted clothing. Through a live dashboard, every item—whether from customers, returns, or network stores—is tracked and reported in real time, making the entire Rimoda chain accountable and measurable.
