Sustainability Mission
Our mission is to create a world where shopping secondhand is everyone’s first choice. When shopping AptDeco you’re not just furnishing your apartment—you’re giving new life to pre-loved furniture while positively impacting the environment. Our community's impact is equivalent to:
18,736,365
6,811,921
1,485,812
Statistics you should know
These stats are just a few examples of why it's critical that we put sustainability first.
12 million tons of furniture get sent to landfills each year
Most of the furniture cluttering landfills was made within the last 15 years
Over one-third of people throw away furniture that could be sold or donated
What is a circular economy?
The circular economy redefines how we consume products by keeping them in circulation through multiple uses. Traditionally, the use of furniture is linear. We buy it, live with it, and then dispose of it. Instead of ending the lifecycle at one use, we've created a platform where furniture can continue to stay in circulation for years to come.
Help us continue to offset the environmental effects of fast furniture and furniture waste by shopping for furniture secondhand and selling it when it’s no longer needed.
Our commitment
Carbon offset
As of 2022, all deliveries within our standard service zones are carbon neutral. We're committed to expanding these efforts to include our extended service zone in the future.
Operations

Education
We're also committed to educating users about the impact of buying used, whether through content shared on our platforms or by expanding our reach into new cities.
