Design Smarter. Trace Clearly. Waste Less: Building a Better Retail Model
As the demand for sustainable consumption reshapes global retail, with the circular economy projected to reach $4.5 trillion by 2030, circularity is no longer a niche trend, it is a strategic imperative. From second-hand platforms to luxury brands and global e-commerce giants, every player in the retail ecosystem is being challenged to rethink their role across the product lifecycle. The session will explore how circular principles are transforming business models through the lens of three key players in luxury retail, e-commerce and second-hand platform, as they navigate desirability, traceability and distribution, repairability and customer experience. What is the role of cross-sector collaboration in scaling circular commerce effectively? Can we harmonize sustainability metrics across different business models? What tools and innovations are enabling traceability and second-life strategies at scale? And how do we balance environmental commitments with customer experience and profitability?
