Faircado

Faircado reinvents second-hand shopping with AI precision. Navigate the second-hand universe with tailored suggestions in a browser plugin. Marrying cost-effectiveness with planet-love, one find at a time. Faircado is your sustainable shopping assistant that aggregates and compares all second-hand offers to make you save time, money and CO2. We won't save the world. At least, not alone. But we are convinced that transforming our linear economy into a circular economy will only be possible by making sustainable choices accessible to all. We need system change, not climate change. What's good for the planet should be cheaper, more convenient and more attractive than what f*cks it up. That's it. That is why we have developed a browser plugin that automatically finds you the best second-hand alternatives for exactly what you're looking for online. No need to search for hours anymore. No need to sacrifice your savings to buy sustainable products anymore. No need to finance any ego trips to space anymore. We help you save time, money, and CO2. Our second-hand shopping assistant is now (beta) live. Download it, and let us know your feedback. Cheers!
