“Amidst the uncertainty and
challenges, this year was the most
successful and sustainable one yet.”

Our Sustainable Returns Solutions
One of our core missions is to solve the unsustainable returns crisis through technology and innovation. Today, almost 40% of retail returns get liquidated, tossed away, or donated. When you think about total returns across the globe, that adds up to 5 billion pounds of waste worldwide; and that’s just a typical year.
When you add COVID-fueled online returns, which doubled in 2020, you get $428 billion worth of merchandise inflicting harm in the form of product waste, packaging waste, and excessive transportation emissions.
Technology-driven solutions are the world’s best hope to tackle the problem. Last year, goTRG’s AI-powered innovations helped prevent over 15,000 metric tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere while rescuing 20 million pounds of waste from landfills.
