Through the channel of direct action, Rendered Inc. is working to promote sustainability by vending quality & rarely used apparel, thus recycling and making our community less environmentally harsh. Specifically, we find the best rare & unique apparel from second hand/consignment shops to vend to our customers, while giving them the education they need to make more educated and sustainable choices in their everyday lives. At Rendered Inc., we pride ourselves on being sustainable through many avenues. Primarily, our inventory. We only vend quality clothing that we receive from thrift stores and consignment shops. By doing so we are recycling quality apparel to a new home, developing a unique wardrobe, and keeping clothes out of landfills. The very idea of a secondhand store is eco-friendly because theoretically, clothes can be worn forever, or at least until the threads are literally worn through. We have a number of programs to fulfill our mission of making the world a more sustainable place with every thrifted purchase. First is our awareness program, we have a PR director whose primary goal is to increase awareness of the "fast-fashion" industry with different social media and blog posts. Next is our donation program, where our customers & followers can easily sign up to drop off (or have us pick up) their items to be given to the thrift stores. Lastly, we have an assortment of events that we host such as group field trips to thrift stores, community service clean-ups, and pop-up shops celebrating creativity in awareness of different issues. All-in-all, rendered does, and will continue to inform the public about the waste that is produced by "fast-fashion" industries and vend quality & rare used apparel.
