Global Commerce Leader eBay Is the Newest Member of American Circular Textiles
New partnership underscores eBay’s commitment to sustainable commerce and the future of circular fashion
WASHINGTON, DC — December 9, 2025 — American Circular Textiles (AMCIRC) announced today the addition of global commerce leader eBay Inc. (Nasdaq: EBAY) to its coalition of more than 30 brands, resellers, recyclers, manufacturers, and other stakeholders united in the advancement of scalable solutions for textile circularity through federal and state advocacy, policy, and education. Now celebrating thirty years of recommerce, eBay enables millions of people worldwide to extend the life of products, reduce waste, and create economic opportunity — aligning naturally with American Circular Textiles’ mission.
The growth of the global secondhand apparel market continues to gain momentum, with eBay’s 2025 Recommerce Report showing that more than half of consumers say buying second-hand allows them to express their personal style. eBay continues to elevate circular fashion as a key part of its sustainability strategy through a variety of recent initiatives. This includes the company’s Circular Fashion Fund, which supports innovators and start-ups developing repair, resale, and next-generation recycling solutions across the industry. Most recently in 2025, eBay became the official pre-loved partner of Condé Nast, reinforcing the company’s position as the destination to shop pre-loved branded fashion across iconic Condé Nast brands including Vogue, GQ, Vanity Fair, Wired, Architectural Digest, Teen Vogue, and Glamour. This multi-year partnership is accelerating the movement towards pre-loved and circular fashion, redefining its place in the market worldwide.
“Our partnership with American Circular Textiles is a natural extension of our commitment to sustainable commerce and an important step toward accelerating the future of circular fashion.”
- Renee Morin, Chief Sustainability Officer of eBay
“30 years ago, eBay defined online buying and selling, which means it has had circularity built into its business model from day one,” says Rachel Kibbe, CEO & Founder of American Circular Textiles. “As a household name in the circular economy, we could not be more excited to welcome a voice as organic and influential as eBay to our ongoing efforts to advance the circular economy in the United States.”
“Since 1995, eBay has helped lead the circular economy by connecting millions of people around the world to extend the life of pre-loved goods," said Renee Morin, Chief Sustainability Officer of eBay. “Our partnership with American Circular Textiles is a natural extension of our commitment to sustainable commerce and an important step toward accelerating the future of circular fashion.”
Founded in 2022, American Circular Textiles represents the nation’s premier circular fashion and textile policy platform, where industry leaders get a seat at the table, collaborate and enable circular market development. Recent initiatives include private sector leadership in G7 circular design actions, support of the launch of the bipartisan Recommerce Caucus, multi-state Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) efforts, and consulting on the Americas Act, which — if passed — would establish the first-ever federal incentives for circular fashion in the United States.
