The company raised money from Gobi Partners’ Gobi-Core Philippine Fund. Unknown funds was provided. Double River Impact, Equitrust Holdings, the Philippines’ National Development Company, and XA Network investors joined the round.

“I was born and raised in the Philippines, where my childhood experiences of thrifting filled me with joy and instilled an early awareness of the value of repurposed items,” co-founder and COO Nina Mirabueno Opida said in a statement.

Humble Sustainability sells smartphones, laptops, and appliances, unlike most thrift stores in the country, which sell clothes and shoes. These products range from like-new to nice but unboxed.

Over 250,000 kilogrammes of electronic garbage have been diverted from landfills by the startup’s corporate partnerships. The company supports over 75 clients, including Canva, Manulife, and Sunlife.
