As the world becomes increasingly conscious of the environmental impact of overconsumption and waste, secondary marketplaces are emerging as a sustainable complement to traditional retail practices. By promoting the reuse and repurposing of goods, secondary marketplaces play a crucial role in advancing the circular economy and reducing the roughly 2.9 million tons of returns that are sent to a landfill each year. The benefits are numerous, from reducing CO2 emissions caused by excess transportation to conserving resources to supporting sustainable production practices.
In this article, David Malka, Chief Sales Officer for goTRG, will explore the intersection of secondary marketplaces and sustainability, highlighting how retailers and consumers can participate in this movement to maximize profitability and support a more sustainable future.
