And what does Zuerich Vintage do for the environment?

Recycling and reuse: By selling vintage products, Zuerich Vintage promotes the idea of ​​recycling and reusing clothing and items, which helps reduce waste and conserve resources.

Avoiding overproduction: Zuerich Vintage does not produce new items and therefore does not contribute to the overproduction that is often associated with the fashion industry.

Reduction of packaging waste: The cardboard packaging for shipping is used (and clean), the envelopes are also secondhand. No plastic packaging is offered.

CO ₂ -compensated shipping : Swiss Post shipments carry the “pro clima” label and are therefore CO ₂ -compensated, both at home and abroad.

Energy efficiency: By selling vintage products online, Zuerich Vintage can avoid physical store locations, saving energy for lighting, heating and cooling. This also contributes to reducing the ecological footprint.

Raise awareness: With my shop I try to raise awareness of sustainability and environmental protection.

Local purchasing and hand selection: I purchase my vintage products locally and carefully hand select each piece instead of buying them in bulk from wholesalers. This supports local economies and promotes the diversity and uniqueness of the products on offer.

Ecological procurement practices: By purchasing locally and hand-selecting products, Zuerich Vintage minimizes the ecological footprint of procurement practices by shortening transport routes and reducing the use of resources.

These plus points contribute to Zuerich Vintage not only offering sustainable products, but also pursuing more environmentally friendly and ethical business practices overall.

I'm open to useful tips on how my shop can become even more environmentally friendly!
