Swaplanet
Swaplanet is a startup that offers a sustainable solution for parents to update their children's wardrobes. It works by allowing parents to collect their kids' clothes that they have outgrown or no longer use, and hand-pick the ones that are in good condition. The Swaplanet team then takes care of picking up the clothes from the parents' homes, sorting them, washing them, and taking photographs before uploading them onto their website. In return, parents receive credit for the clothes they sent and can immediately start shopping for their children's next set of clothes. To cover the costs of shipping, sorting, and washing, Swaplanet charges a small swapping fee per item.
