Sustainability
Circular Economy Playbook for U.S. Brands and Deal Hunters
Keep products, materials, and dollars cycling through American communities instead of landfills.
Design products for second lives
Brands can lower lifetime cost of ownership by building repairable designs—standardized screws, replaceable components, and clear maintenance guides reduce returns and win customer loyalty.

- Add QR codes linking to repair tutorials and parts ordering pages.
- Offer trade-in credits for refurbished inventory instead of landfill disposal.
- Use recycled or upcycled materials and share the origin story prominently.
Launch recommerce channels that reward loyalty
Create certified pre-owned sections where gently used items are inspected, cleaned, and resold with short warranties—customers save money while brands recover margin and reduce waste.
Encourage shoppers to return products through mail-back kits or local drop-offs; reward participation with loyalty points redeemable on RealAmericanDeals.com partner stores.
