We make returns and
excess inventory the hero.
We are a circular economy startup, helping businesses with the products they’re struggling to sell. We do this sustainably, with excellent service and high value recovery.
Our story
We turn companies’ excess inventory into the hero, helping clients recover high value, clear their spaces and clean the planet. We set out to solve the problem of returns and excess inventory. Our solution allows them to recover value, businesses in the form of revenue and our buyers through the purchase of affordable, high-quality, sustainable items.

How it works
How we recover up to 5x more value
We bring every item back into circularity! Humble does this by working with companies to handle their inventory that might otherwise end up in landfills. We sell the high value items on Thrift by Humble, our own circular living e-commerce store, while everything else goes to our network of B2B recyclers, resellers and upcyclers.
Our ‘reason’ is to build a platform and community where anything can be brought back into circularity by anyone!
For a cause so much bigger than ourselves
Sustainable cities and communities
We collect discarded items reducing waste in landfills and providing livelihood for local recyclers
Responsible consumption and production
We promote circular living, a mindset where the circular economy enters our day to day lives
Climate action
We are introducing a carbon footprint tracker to measure the impact of our community on the planet
