Calculating Resale’s Positive Impact

The First-of-its-Kind TRR Sustainability Calculator

Thanks to our members, we’re countering luxury’s impact on the environment. And we can prove it. We developed a custom calculator to measure the greenhouse gases, energy output and water usage saved by the resale of women’s and men’s items since the founding of The RealReal.

We teamed up with leading environmental consulting firm Shift Advantage and sustainable textile leaders from the World Resources Institute and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation to formulate our calculator methodology. Learn more about the TRR Sustainability Calculator and the methodology behind it.
