E-commerce platform Ebay is the newest member of the American Circular Textiles (AMCIRC), a coalition of over 30 brands, resellers, recyclers, manufacturers, and other stakeholders that are working together to advance more scalable solutions for textile circularity.
The announcement comes as Ebay marks thirty years of recommerce, with the online marketplace’s 2025 Recommerce Report finding that more than 50 percent of shoppers view pre-owned purchases as a way to showcase their individual style, in line with its broader commitment Ebay is advancing circular fashion through its sustainability initiatives, including the Circular Fashion Fund, which supports innovators developing repair, resale, and recycling solutions.
In 2025, Ebay became the official pre-loved partner of Condé Nast, bringing secondhand fashion to iconic brands like Vogue, GQ, and Vanity Fair. A multi-year partnership, it is designed to help accelerate the shift toward circular fashion and redefine the pre-loved market globally.
“30 years ago, Ebay defined online buying and selling, which means it has had circularity built into its business model from day one,” said Rachel Kibbe, CEO & Founder of American Circular Textiles, in a statement. “As a household name in the circular economy, we could not be more excited to welcome a voice as organic and influential as eBay to our ongoing efforts to advance the circular economy in the United States.”
“Since 1995, Ebay has helped lead the circular economy by connecting millions of people around the world to extend the life of pre-loved goods,” said Renee Morin, Chief Sustainability Officer of Ebay. “Our partnership with American Circular Textiles is a natural extension of our commitment to sustainable commerce and an important step toward accelerating the future of circular fashion.”
Founded in 2022, American Circular Textiles is a US policy platform for circular fashion and textiles, bringing industry leaders together to collaborate and develop circular markets. Recent initiatives include leading G7 circular design efforts, supporting the bipartisan Recommerce Caucus, advancing multi-state Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs, and consulting on the Americas Act, which would create the first federal incentives for circular fashion in the US.
