AbundaTrade.com Provides a Sustainable Alternative for Smart Consumers

At AbundaTrade.com, smart consumerism means putting unwanted stuff back into the system rather than into a landfill, and purchasing items from a socially conscious company that saves you money. Smart consumers, create win-win scenarios for their wallets and for the environment.

Wasteful consumerism is an increasingly substantial concern. People want stuff, and spend billions of dollars to get it. In the process, they throw out perfectly useful items in order to make room for more new stuff. It is wasteful spending that hurts the pocket books of America; wasteful manufacturing and disposal that hurts the planet.

Starting in February 2010, in keeping with the reCommerce principle of sustainability, AbundaTrade.com is exited to begin recycling #5 plastics through cooperation with Whole Foods market of Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina, and with the Preserve “Gimme 5” recycling program. Commonly used for yogurt cups and similar containers, #5 plastics can be difficult to recycle in many parts of the country.

AbundaTrade.com acquires large quantities of #5 plastics in the form of a used DVD and video game cases. These cases, received from trades and other sources, are often torn, marked on, or otherwise unsuitable for reuse. AbundaTrade.com appreciates the opportunity to keep these cases out of the trash. Instead, the plastic waste is returned to the manufacturing cycle, where it is transformed into useful household items.

Rather than taking up space in closets, garages, or landfills, unwanted CDs, DVDs, books, and video games can be traded in to AbundaTrade.com for cash. As attested by satisfied customer, Lori G., “This service is great! I love recycling and getting money for my books, DVDs & CDs. I needed to downsize my collections and this way it is a win-win!”

According to Clayton Woodson, Co-Founder of AbundaTrade.com, “In our first two years AbundaTrade.com is proud to have repaired and recirculated over 100 tons of post-consumser movies, music, video games, and books.”By practicing reCommerce, used items are returned to the market, reducing the need for raw materials to produce new items. The value that AbundaTrade.com offers through its services and products will encourage customers to choose trading in over throwing out, and to support reCommerce over wasteful manufacturing.
