LOVE STOCK HATE WASTE

The mission of Buy Me Once is to end throwaway culture.

So we are calling for the CEOs of all brands and retailers to join us in a pledge to donate or redistribute their stock instead of destroying it

Pledge today

By sending this form, I pledge on behalf of my company, that all our returned or surplus stock will be kept intact to be donated, re-sold or recirculated in some way which benefits society.

yay! now, get your pledge badge

Thank you for pledging. Please download and display your Love Stock Hate Waste badge on your site and social channels to show that your business is standing up to waste.

The Love Stock pledge

"We pledge never to purposefully damage stock. All our useable returned or surplus stock will be donated, re-sold or recirculated in some way which benefits society."

Why this is important

1000s of products are being put into skips or destroyed by retailers every week. See undercover footage here. At the same time, we have a cost-of-living crisis and people in desperate need. The waste must stop. Businesses can do better.

Benefits to pledging

Signed-up brands may proudly display the Love Stock badge (in a colour of their choosing) to let consumers know that they take waste seriously and are doing their bit towards positive solutions.
