115. Buying Used vs Made from Recycled Materials: What's More Sustainable? with Emme Hayes
In episode 115 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, I sat down to chat with Emme Hayes, the founder of Articles in Common. During our conversation, we learned a lot about one another and just how much we actually had in common, including our thoughts on buying used gear and keeping products in circulation for as long as possible. Since buying used is a topic I’ve explored with other guests in the past, it was fun to take a new direction with Emme and compare how recycling gear and textiles may or may not fit into what we view as a circular production model.
Emme Hayes is the founder of Articles In Common, an online marketplace for outdoor gear and apparel. As a climate activist, I was disappointed when I learned that the outdoor apparel industry was growing at a rate that would diminish our progress to net zero. Frustrated by the limitations of trade-in programs offered by outdoor brands, I wanted an easy way to send in gear that offered a transparent marketplace for outdoorists and athletes alike.
