ThredUP’s president on why he’s “confident and optimistic” about the future of resale

At Web Summit 2021, we caught up with Anthony Marino, president of online consignment and thrift store thredUP, to discuss the secondhand market’s growth, how resale drives sustainability, and how the company is expanding its footprint with its resale as a service offering.

Nearly one in two consumers we interviewed say they actually care more about value and sustainability than they did before the pandemic. This came as a surprise to us, because you would think that when you’re worried about your finances, your family, and your health, you don’t have time to think about the planet.
