Village des valeurs

 

Village des valeurs

Il Village des Valeurs è una catena di negozi specializzata nella vendita no-profit di oggetti di seconda mano. Ammetto di essere stata un po diffidente all'inizio (oddio indossare abiti usati...!) ma dopo una attenta analisi mi sono resa conto di che incredibile sistema di rara intelligenza fosse.

Il negozio si basa su una gestione circolare della merce, come illustrato nell'immagine a sinistra.

Cito da wikipedia:

Under Savers' business model, the company partners with local non-profits by purchasing and reselling donated items. The non-profits collect and deliver donated goods to Savers, which pays them for the items at a bulk rate regardless of whether they ever make it to the sales goods this way. Savers has more than 160 non-profit partners throughout the United States, Canada and Australia, which it pays more than $117 million annually.

Items deemed resellable are displayed for purchase in stores. Savers also has a recycling program and attempts to recycle any reusable items that cannot be sold at the stores, as well as any items that do not sell over a period of time to make room for fresh merchandise. Savers has buyers for its recyclables throughout the world and attempts to keep as much donated product out of the waste stream as possible.

Un vero esempio di gestione intelligente unita alla bellezza della beneficenza :)
