"[CycleUp] is great because it’s a three-pronged attack with no aspect of life left behind.
Economic – it’s a unique, profitable business generating more GDP.
Social – empowering women and providing opportunities for upskilling, especially for those who couldn’t afford to go to college or who come from low-income backgrounds.
Environmental – it goes the extra mile to save clothing from landfill by picking up what charity shops couldn’t recycle.
What this all means is that it’s essentially the perfect business from a sustainable development point of view. It understands that the purpose of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals is not to simply achieve one or two while neglecting the rest, but that they are all interconnected and affect each other. The only proper way forward is to consider, tackle, and address all 17 at once. Social, economic, and environmental issues all affect each other, so they must all be addressed together."
