(MENAFN- niknak pr) Reloved, the UAE-born eco-tech platform making it effortless to buy and sell pre-loved items, celebrates its first birthday this November, marking a milestone in reshaping how the region shops sustainably. In just one year, Reloved users have helped avoid an estimated 1.5 tonnes of CO₂ emissions, the equivalent of driving a petrol car 7,510 km, taking six short-haul flights, planting 72 mature trees, or powering the average household for 1.8 years. Through conscious buying and selling, Reloved’s community has proven that small actions can create a meaningful and measurable climate impact.

“Reloved isn’t just about selling things, it’s about redefining shopping culture in the UAE,” says Founder & CEO, Annie Stacey. “We wanted to create something that’s local, tech-driven, and trustworthy in a place where people can shop consciously without compromising on quality, aesthetics, or ease.”

In just 12 months, Reloved has been featured across multiple platforms as well as was a contestant on The Final Pitch on OSN. The brand was also recognised as Sustainable Champion of the Year by COP 23 / ARN, and chosen as Thrift for Good’s partner of choice.

Beyond commerce, Reloved is on a mission to educate and empower, encouraging people to rethink what “secondhand” means. Each transaction extends an item’s lifecycle, reduces waste, and contributes to a more circular economy.

Reloved’s next chapter focuses on scaling its tech, expanding its community, and continuing to innovate within the eco-tech resale space. The brand is also exploring potential investment to enhance its platform capabilities, alongside upcoming TV features.
With its mission to give good things a second life, Reloved is shaping a more connected, conscious, and circular UAE, one item, one story, and one swap at a time.
