Recommerce / Resale

Overview

What if you could turn used products into new opportunities? Recommerce, or resale, is the business model that transforms pre-owned goods into valuable assets.

Key Components

It’s ideal when companies want to extend product lifecycles, reduce waste, and tap into growing consumer demand for sustainable options. Visualizing the model shows how products flow from consumers back to the seller, who then resells them, often with added value through refurbishment or branding.

How to Apply

To apply it, start by identifying high-value, durable products and build a process for collecting, assessing, and reselling them. Recommerce isn’t just good for the planet—it’s smart business.
