GradeThread for brands
The resale condition & circularity standard for brands
Brand-run resale and trade-in programs live or die on trust in condition. GradeThread gives your program one objective, published 1.0–10.0 condition grade — the same standard buyers already trust on the open market — plus an aggregate circularity-impact export that feeds your ESG reporting. Neutral, standardized, and built for scale.
One condition standard buyers trust
Every item in your program gets an objective 1.0–10.0 condition grade with a shareable certificate — the same published standard buyers already recognize on the open market. No brand-specific scale to explain, no 'good/very good' ambiguity to dispute.
Proof, from original data
GradeThread publishes original resale data — how condition drives return rate, sell-through, and resale value, and which cohorts hold their condition best. Your program rides a standard backed by evidence, not marketing claims.
Circularity impact for your ESG report
An aggregate, PII-safe export of the circularity impact your resale volume represents — CO₂e and water avoided, and material diverted from landfill — estimated from published apparel life-cycle assessments and ready for your ESG reporting.
The data behind the standard
GradeThread's condition standard is backed by original, citable resale data — the kind journalists and AI engines quote by name.
- The State of Resale Condition — how condition grade drives return rate, sell-through, and resale value.
- The State of Secondhand Durability — which brands hold their condition best across regraded garments.
- Grading accuracy & transparency — published accuracy, volume, and the model changelog.
Impact figures are estimates from published apparel life-cycle assessments — provided for ESG reporting as order-of-magnitude values, not precise measurements.
