Choosing to buy second-hand rather than new helps avoid CO2 emissions produced in the manufacture of new goods.

Donating unwanted goods to a charity shop helps avoid waste going to landfill or incineration.

This calculator uses shop department's average weight per item, an estimate of the CO2 created per kg during manufacture, and a substitution percentage to estimate the degree to which a preloved purchase replaces a new purchase.
