Good For Sunday aims to tackle the highly pollutive return industry -- currently responsible for contributing a million tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere with a new sustainable initiative dubbed Ecoturns. The innovative peer-to-peer return network takes a new approach to returns.
When making a return, instead of shipping your item back to Good For Sunday and them shipping that same item to the next customer, with Ecoturns, Good For Sunday will send you a pre-paid return label that allows you to ship your item directly to the next person who wants to buy it.
Ecoturns eliminates an entire shipping trip of CO2, pounds of landfill waste, and all the packaging waste for another order.
