The British Retail Consortium (BRC) has published voluntary guidelines to help businesses selling second-hand and pre-loved items on their journey to a circular economy. 

The Guideline to Second-hand and Pre-Loved Items published by the British Retail Consortium has been developed by a cohort of retailers, resale platforms, charity retailers and other industry experts.

The guideline outlines the steps retailers can take to adhere to circular economy principles. By following this circular model, retailers will further the progress they have already made to lengthen the lifecycle of the products consumers buy, the BRC says.

“We are delighted to launch our first voluntary Guideline on second-hand and preloved items,” said Helen Dickinson, chief executive of the BRC. “With more people looking for ways to shop sustainably, particularly as the cost-of-living rises, the sale of second-hand items in-store and online can encourage sustainable behaviours at affordable prices and take us one step further towards a circular economy.
