Renewal & Sale

Items are expertly restored, photographed with the maker's story, and sold to conscious buyers.

Step 1: Collection & Sorting

Returns are collected from major retailers and sorted at local hubs. Each item is inspected for refurbishment potential, with damaged items routed to appropriate specialists. Our AI-powered sorting system ensures items reach experts with the right skills.

Step 2: Expert Matching

Verified refurbishment specialists receive notifications for items matching their specialty. They claim items based on their expertise and capacity, ensuring quality restoration. Each specialist maintains a public profile with their craft, ratings, and portfolio.

Step 3: Restoration & Marketplace

Specialists document their restoration process with photos and stories. Renewed items are listed on our marketplace with the refurbisher's profile embedded. Buyers purchase premium renewed products at 30-60% below retail, while refurbishers earn 88% of the sale price.
