– First, factory workers make these sneakers. Then, they put them in a box;
– Later, huge containers get loaded with shoes and clothes and put them on airplanes, ships, trucks, and trains to distribute worldwide;
– Then, the sneakers get to the sorting center of a clothing store and, finally, appear on the site of this store;
-All the returned clothes and shoes get transported to a landfill and are just burned;
– Stores do this not because such things are not good enough to sell them again but because it's unprofitable to return them to the catalog;
– According to statistics, people return about 15-30% of things they buy in Internet stores;
– Many other products, such as cosmetics, underwear, and swimsuits, get destroyed immediately. Returning them to shop shelves doesn't comply with sanitary standards;
– Companies sometimes load returned things into huge containers and ship them to other countries;
– In a perfect world, producers could use all returned things as raw materials for making new ones;
– In 1970, an entrepreneur found some left luggage at a bus stop and decided to sell it. The idea evolved and turned the city into a place where you can find stuff you lost at an airport long ago. Animation is created by Bright Side.
