Building an e-commerce website selling second-hand items

Abstract

In today’s era of e-commerce dominance, the retail landscape is constantly evolving. Amidst this evolution, there is a growing recognition of the environmental and social impacts of consumerism. In response, the concept of sustainable consumption has gained momentum. In line with this philosophy, the idea of creating an e-commerce platform dedicated to second-hand products emerged. This essay explores the logic behind such a platform, considering its environmental, economic and social impacts. By extending the life of products, promoting a circular economy and encouraging community engagement, the initiative represents a step towards more responsible and conscious consumption practices.
