Breathing New Life Into Secondhand Goods

Thrift World Export: Breathing New Life Into Secondhand Goods

With over 30 years of experience, Thrift World Export has become a leader in global textile trading. From carefully sourced “credential” collections to mixed rag textiles, paired shoes, belts, purses, hats, and household goods, we’re here to make sure used materials get a second shot at life.

We’ve built lasting relationships with suppliers, logistics partners, and customers around the world. We export nearly 5 million pounds of goods each year—ensuring that secondhand finds continue to make an impact far beyond their first use.

Our operation is anything but small. We handle shipments of 53-foot trailers and 40 HC containers, each loaded with over 43,000 pounds of quality goods, ready to ship. Attention to detail and reliable delivery are why we’re the go-to choice for buyers who expect consistency and quality every time.

What is Global Textile Trading—and Why Does it Matter?

We’re glad you asked!

Global textile trading is the process of buying, selling, and redistributing secondhand textiles across borders. It’s a crucial part of the circular economy, where unwanted goods find new homes and new purposes. For Thrift World, global textile trading allows us to extend the life of these materials, reduce waste, and create opportunities in communities around the globe. By participating in this trade, we’re not only helping to keep textiles out of landfills, but we’re also giving them a second life in markets that rely on affordable clothing and materials. It’s a win for sustainability and a win for our business.

By connecting domestic and international markets, we give secondhand goods a new purpose—creating opportunities and positive change for communities worldwide.
