Since its launch in June, #MovimientoReÚsalo has been working to position reuse as the preferred form of consumption in Spain. Led by major players from across the reuse ecosystem including Wallapop, IKEA, Milanuncios, Vinted, NESI and AERESS, Movimiento Re-Úsalo emerges in response to the rise of ultra-fast consumption, and advocates for stronger public policies to promote reuse, fiscal incentives like eco-vouchers, and greater citizen awareness of the environmental and social benefits of extending the life of products. We’re now taking a major step forward with a roadmap of proposals for a more circular and fair economy, and launching a signature petition on Change.org to help bring reuse to the center of the public agenda. 👉 Join the movement and sign here: https://surl.li/ecktjc We’re also opening the door to all organizations that share this vision and are proud to welcome new members (Back Market, aREca, Humana Spain, Moda re-, Talento para el Futuro and Fundación para la Economía Circular) who are joining forces to accelerate this transition. If you believe in the power of second-hand, now is the time to join us.

A new chapter for Wallapop: accelerating our vision with NAVER I'm pleased to announce that the vast majority of our shareholders have approved NAVER Corp's offer to acquire Wallapop, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for our company. Since being founded in Barcelona in 2013, Wallapop has experienced immense growth. We've built a vibrant community of 19 million people across Southern Europe who engage with us monthly, creating over 100 million listings each year of items they no longer use. This isn't just about transactions; it's about driving profound economic and environmental impact. Our community typically generates between €2 billion and €2.5 billion in sales annually and, in 2024 alone, buying and selling reused items through Wallapop helped save 467,000 tons of CO2, equivalent to taking every car off Barcelona's roads for six months. Our mission is clear: to make reusing the preferred choice for consumers in Southern Europe. We achieve this by fostering network effects and consistently integrating cutting-edge innovations. Today, we help users list items seamlessly and discover products with unprecedented personalization. Our Wallapop Envíos service now intermediates 60% of all transactions, and we've become the leading destination in Spain for reused cars by listing volume. NAVER Corp's deep understanding of our vision for C2C commerce, combined with their technological expertise and proven track record in helping local companies to scale, will supercharge our journey, accelerating our growth and innovation in Southern Europe. We are incredibly proud of our achievements, and with NAVER Corp's belief in our potential, we are poised to play an even bigger role in shaping the future of recommerce. Moving forward, Wallapop will continue to operate from our Barcelona headquarters, maintaining our current leadership, strategy, and dedicated team. Our user experience will remain consistent, ensuring our community remains at the heart of our progress as we further lead the reuse movement in the region. The economic potential is undeniable: our "La Red del Cambio" report shows that second-hand trading in Spain generates €13 billion annually, representing 0.86% of the national GDP. We look forward to creating a successful future together, empowering even more individuals to participate in a more conscious consumption model that unlocks economic opportunities for people. #Wallapop #NAVER #Acquisition #TechNews #CircularEconomy #Recommerce #Sustainability #SecondHand

At Wallapop, the belief in empowering a more conscious way of consumption - creating economic opportunity for our community in a way that improves sustainability - has united and motivated our team from the very beginning.  Over the last few years we’ve turned these beliefs into facts through our La Red del Cambio study where we’ve rigorously quantified our impact.  The first few editions focused on the impact of reuse on sustainability, while this year’s fifth edition (with the support of ISDI) looks into the tangible value that the buying and selling of second-hand products brings to the domestic economy.  This comes at a crucial time, as global economic uncertainty continues to fuel financial anxiety for households. In this context, reusing is gaining new relevance. It is consolidating as a resilient, accessible, and local model—aligned with a society that demands conscious brands with clear values, positive impact, and a realistic approach to the new financial constraints faced by many households. Key findings from the study: - The reused market in Spain generates an annual volume of nearly €13 billion, equivalent to 0.86% of the national GDP. - Through selling used products and saving on second-hand purchases, each person generates an average of 1,112€ annually—comparable to an extra monthly salary, based on an average gross income of 20,767€ per year. - 65% of Spaniards say that reusing helps them reduce financial stress. In a time of global transformation, these figures show that reusing is not only part of a cultural shift, but is also having a real, measurable impact on household economies. Thank you EL ESPAÑOL for giving voice to our message and helping us share it. https://lnkd.in/dvrsuezu #CircularEconomy #ConsciousConsumption #Wallapop #RedDelCambio #Reuse #EconomicTransformation
