“Today is Earth Day, when everyone is conscious of protecting our environment and our responsibility to be more eco-friendly in our activities,” said Luis Perez, founder and CEO of Remoov. “But at Remoov, we do this 365 days every year. Remoov’s mission is to upcycle as many used items as we can, giving them new life for purchasers through our consignment shops, branded as ‘The Local Flea’ and our distribution network. This upcycle process has a significant and measurable impact in reducing carbon footprint and smog, diverting reusable items from landfills, and saving water and trees. We’re incredibly proud of our environmentally-conscious operations and we have been recognized as one of the ‘101 Most Innovative United States Based Sustainability Companies’ in 2022 by Futurology.life. And as we move forward, we will continue to strive to do even more to help protect our planet for future generations.”
Remoov serves their customers by picking up items no longer desired and reselling them in their affiliated consignment shops, donating them to local non-profits, or otherwise responsibly recycling these items. As consumer demands shift towards using upcycled or previously-owned furniture, appliances and electronics, consignment shops like The Local Flea, with stores in Phoenix, Miami and San Francisco (owned and operated by Remoov), are striving to keep their showrooms full for shoppers. Adding to the growing demand are the supply chain disruptions that have plagued the retail industry in the wake of the pandemic and an ever increasing public interest in purchasing recycled and upcycled goods and act as a responsible citizen of our planet focused on sustainability and protecting our environment.
