We value accessibility over ownership. Together with technology and community, we increase the utilisation and prolong the life cycle of each garment that gets rented. When it comes to discarding the retired items we partner with experts and companies such as Blocktexx to ensure that each garment is entered back into the loop and gets reused again. Our mailer bags and boxes are made from previously used material products and renewable plant-based materials and/or bio-polymers. As most of our packaging is returning to our HQ we can ensure the best environment for composting. We make sure that our packaging has a built-in second (and possibly third, fourth) use. Every package sent to the renter is also used as return packaging to maximise the benefit of the reusable material and that we can recycle, reuse or compost them properly. We use only the best clean/green solutions to minimise any negative environmental impacts from our day to day operations. Trade waste samples are monitored and taken by Aecom, which extract regulated testing samples every 22 days to ensure we are industry compliant. Our solution GreenEarth protects the planet and garments.

This year Rntr. has volunteered at Thread Together, an initiative that saves clothes from landfill and gives them to those who are in need. Rntr. is always looking to support women in business and tech, in 2022 Rntr. styled and supplied outfits for women speaking at International Womens Day events across the country.

Rntr. is female founded by Shanya Suppasiritad, originally from Thailand Shanya has always been passionate about female empowerment. Rntr's team is a majority female coming from an assortment of backgrounds and ages.

In the current day as clothing is massively underutilised, especially in the most high-income countries such as the US, UK and Australia, garments are worn for around quarter of the global average. Plus the textile industry relies mostly on non-renewable resources, combining the low use of garments and low level of recycling, the current wasteful linear system is the root cause of the enormous pressure on resources beyond the use of raw materials. The overarching vision of a new textiles economy is that it aligns with the principles of a circular economy: one that is restorative and regenerative by design and provides benefits for business, society, and the environment. In such a system, clothes, textiles, and fibres are kept at their highest value during use and re-enter the economy after use, never ending up as waste. Rntr. enables fashion brands to offer their customers endless access to a variety of clothing via a recurring revenue model; resulting in a decreasing demand for new clothing production. This short-term rental model allows brands to increase garment use by keeping them in the loop for longer and preventing more clothing from ending up in landfill.

Our package travels by carbon neutral delivery network. We do our best to minimise the carbon footprint where we can throughout our operation, by having a warehouse and dry cleaning facility in the same location we make sure that the package doesn’t need to travel to more places that it needs to.
