Encouraging Circularity in Tech, with Camille Richard (Back Market)
How Circular Economy Platforms Can Make Refurbished Tech the Default Consumer Choice
Circular economy platforms scale refurbished technology by combining trusted quality, competitive pricing, regulation, and consumer education, proving sustainable choices can outperform new products while driving profitable, long-term growth.
Putting Circularity at the Core of the Tech Economy
Circular platforms like Back Market redesign the tech value chain to extend product lifecycles, reduce waste, and normalize reuse, making circularity an operational and economic advantage rather than a niche ideal.
Making Refurbished Technology the Best Consumer Option
Refurbished tech becomes the default choice when platforms remove friction through guarantees, transparency, and seamless user experience, shifting consumer perception from “second-best” to “smartest choice.”
Aligning Sustainability With Innovation and Compliance
Driving growth in refurbished markets requires continuous innovation alongside strong compliance and advocacy, ensuring sustainability standards build trust with consumers, regulators, and industry partners.
Building a Culture That Values People and the Planet
Successful circular platforms foster internal cultures that align business performance with social and environmental impact, empowering teams to innovate responsibly while scaling globally.
Activating the Power of the Citizen-Consumer
By informing and engaging consumers, circular economy platforms turn purchasing decisions into levers for change, proving that consumer demand can reshape markets, industries, and environmental outcomes.
