Ahead of World Environment Day (5 June), Carousell launched its first-ever Circular Economy Impact Microsite — featuring a live Neighbourhood Leaderboard ranking Singapore communities by how much carbon they’ve saved through buying & selling pre-loved items! 📊🌍
As of 10am on Friday, City Hall took #1 spot with 680,835 kg of CO₂e avoided — the biggest climate impact in the whole island! 🥇 Its top category: Women’s Fashion 🛍
📈 Top 5 Neighbourhoods:
1. City Hall – 680,835 kg | 🛍 Women’s Fashion
2. Tampines East – 633,617 kg | 🧩 Hobbies & Toys
3. Sengkang Town Centre – 454,372 kg | 🧩 Hobbies & Toys
4. Geylang East – (figures not stated)
5. Jurong West Central – (figures not stated)
4 out of top 5: Hobbies & Toys is the biggest category! 🎮🎨
♻ What does this mean?
✅ 1 secondhand purchase = ~15.6 kg CO₂e saved → same as skipping 31 hours of air-con! ❄🚫
✅ Across the whole Carousell Group region: 262 MILLION kg CO₂e avoided in one year — equal to 507,484 one-way flights from Singapore → London! ✈🌍
✅ Calculated with climate-tech firm Vaayu: counts emissions saved vs buying new, from raw materials to production, plus real user behaviour data from 15,000+ surveys 📝
💡 Why this matters
“Climate numbers have always been too abstract,” said co-founder Marcus Tan. “Now you can see exactly how your neighbourhood contributes — and how every trade helps build a greener Singapore.” 🤝🌱
