Sustainability
What is actually in place, and what would be greenwashing to claim.
What is in place
Consolidated shipping where possible
Items from the same seller ship together in one parcel rather than one per line, which is both cheaper and less wasteful.
Returns are resold, not binned
Returned items that pass inspection go back into the seller’s stock. Destroying returns is not permitted under the Seller Policy.
Honest delivery options
Economy shipping is offered and priced attractively. Slower consolidated freight has a materially lower footprint than air express.
What we are not claiming
Test environment: Environmental claims are regulated in several markets and a marketplace cannot verify a seller’s supply chain from a listing form. Anything unverified is left unsaid here on purpose.
- No carbon-neutral or net-zero claim is made — no emissions accounting has been carried out.
- No offset programme is in place. Buying offsets without measuring first is not meaningful.
- Individual product sustainability claims are the seller’s, and we do not independently verify them.
- No certification scheme has been audited or awarded.
