The new Vendora model = security + sustainability 🛡️🍃

This option not only promotes a more sustainable circular economy but also unlocks significant social and ecological benefits. Sales revenues at Vendora are recycled for in-platform purchases, contributing to a positive impact on both the community and the environment.
♻️ We support the local economy
Our platform serves as a secure space where buyers and sellers come together, facilitating the journey of our favorite items to find new homes within the local community. When you choose to use your sales profits for in-platform purchases, you not only bring joy to a fellow human being but also actively contribute to recycling money into the local economy, providing substantial support.
Recycling money within the local economy has a profound impact by bolstering the purchasing power of the community. This, in turn, offers essential support to both local businesses and individuals, creating a positive cycle of economic empowerment and community growth.
🌍 Environmental awareness
Vendora is recognized as one of the environmentally conscious companies in Greece and Cyprus, actively contributing to the circular economy model by giving a second life to thousands of items. Every sale on Vendora plays a role in promoting sustainability.
We actively encourage our sellers to embrace the practice of buying second-hand. This not only extends the life of items but also plays a crucial role in reducing waste and making a significant contribution to environmental conservation. Choosing second-hand items is a powerful way to participate in a more sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle.
We also provide significantly cheaper shipping for our buyers due to our strategic partnership with the courier company BOXNOW. With Lockers that run exclusively on solar energy and an operating model that reduces emissions, BOXNOW is considered the greenest choice in parcel deliveries in Greece.
At Vendora, we are committed to making buying and selling as smooth and environmentally friendly as possible. 🌿
