CoCarting

Ask the people you know or read strangers' opinions?

Do you have something you need to return, but it’s still on your to-do list, stressing you out? It's a pain in the butt, right? Or maybe it's sitting in that corner because you didn't have time to return it? Hahaha! I know, lately a lot of things have been happening, and it feels like they come from nowhere.

When you need to return it, but it keeps popping into your head, you think, "It’s only $$$. A lot is happening, so I’m going to treat myself and relax a little." Next time you think about it, it has passed the return date. Now you have it for good. When you start feeling bad for not getting your money back and losing your hard-earned money, it’s pretty shocking. You feel angry and regret choosing to relax instead of returning that darn thing. Now, you might think, "Maybe I'll use it, keep it somewhere." Until one day, you can donate it or sell it at a yard sale.

That's what happens in the 21st century. Last year, $743 billion worth of products were returned, and 9.5 billion pounds of returned goods ended up in landfills.

That’s why I want to introduce CoCarting – a collaborative shopping cart. Explore, chat, vote, and decide with your bestie, sister, and mom. We’re against impulsive buys. We make decisions together with friends and family, so we save money, save time, and reduce returns.

Reducing Returns and Footprint with CoCarting.com

Did you know?
- In 2022 alone, retailers sent over 9.5 billion pounds of returned products straight to landfill, as it’s more cost-effective than reselling.

- On average, customers return up to 30% of products bought online, resulting in up to 24 million metric tons of CO2 emissions each year.

- Online shopping leads to almost three times as many returns as store purchases, creating substantially more emissions and waste through delivery and packaging.

- In 2021, returns accounted for an average of 16.6% of total U.S. retail sales – a cost of $4.583 trillion – an increase of 6% from 2020.

- Exacerbated by fast fashion and ‘wardrobing’, the fashion industry recorded the highest returns, with customers sending back up to 40% of garments. Fast fashion returns alone release the same emissions as 3 million US cars.

A growing trend among warehouse processing teams is to simply discard items that are too costly to resell – it’s estimated returns cost US retailers $816 billion in 2022. With the current rate of returns – especially during holiday seasons where up to 1 million returns are made daily – it’s easier to throw them away, resulting in 9.5 billion pounds of returns being sent straight to landfills.

Discarding depends on the industry, with fashion being one of the biggest culprits – the average return rate for clothes is 32%. Customers who try on clothes make it difficult to resell the items, meaning they often get disposed of in landfills. There are a growing number of open-air dumping sites, such as in Chile’s Atacama Desert. More than 741 deserted acres have reportedly become clothing junkyards.

Lowering the impact of online returns has to come from both consumers and businesses. Just 20% of products are returned due to damage – meaning the vast majority are for other reasons. With 66% of customers surveyed in 2023 considering sustainability when shopping, this should extend to considering items for return and if they can be kept in circulation, understanding company return policies and ESG commitments, avoiding damaging trends such as wardrobing and multiple size purchasing, as well as buying higher quality, more durable items.

That’s why I started CoCarting. By making shopping a collaborative experience with friends and family, we can reduce returns and lower our environmental footprint. CoCarting allows people to make purchasing decisions together, leading to more thoughtful choices and less waste. Let’s transform online shopping into a more sustainable and socially connected experience. Together, we can make a difference.
