Recommerce, short for “reverse commerce”, is revolutionizing retail by giving products a second life. Instead of ending up in landfills, items are resold, reused, and re-loved, creating a more sustainable and affordable shopping experience. It’s a fast-growing industry at the heart of the circular economy, helping brands reduce waste, meet sustainability goals, and connect with consumers.
