Who We Are

The Rebirth Collective is more than a thrift store. It is a living demonstration of the circular economy in action. Created by Wasted 360 Solutions and founded by Ann Anra, Rebirth brings together thrift retail, sustainable brands, community engagement, waste diversion, conscious consumption, and environmental education under one roof.

Located in the heart of T. Nagar, Chennai, our space enables people to shop, donate, learn, repair, reuse, and rethink waste. We believe sustainability should be practical, affordable, and accessible to everyone.

Our Mission

To make sustainable action easy, accessible, and enjoyable while proving that products, materials, and communities can thrive in a circular economy.

What You Will Find at Rebirth

• Curated thrift collections including fashion, books, home décor, accessories, toys, furniture, and lifestyle products
• Sustainable products from purpose-driven brands
• Community café and gathering space
• Repair, reuse, and circular living initiatives
• Workshops, pop-ups, awareness campaigns, and sustainability events
• Responsible collection of textiles, books, plastics, e-waste, glass, and household items

Our Impact

Since launching the T. Nagar Sustainability Experience Center in February 2022, we have built one of India’s most visible community-led circular economy spaces.

• 200+ tonnes of waste diverted from landfills
• 3 tonnes of materials recovered every month
• 10,800+ community visits
• 10,805+ customers served
• 40,548+ transactions completed
• Zero-landfill operating model

Every item donated, repaired, reused, resold, or recycled represents resources saved, emissions avoided, and waste prevented from reaching landfills.

Our Sustainable Brand Collective

Rebirth supports and showcases emerging sustainable brands that align with our values of ethical production, responsible consumption, and environmental stewardship.

Featured brands include PRANI, Porul Restore, Kamarakattu, Sempulam, Miracle Enzyme, Cause Wear, Chennai Revive, WAS Originals, and other purpose-driven enterprises.

Why Rebirth Matters

In a world built around disposal and overconsumption, Rebirth offers an alternative. We help people discover that second-hand can be desirable, sustainable products can be mainstream, and waste can become a resource. Every purchase, donation, and visit contributes to a more resilient and responsible future.
