📣 Time for our #sustainability update! 🌿 Last quarter, we provided new life to 47.2 tons of CO2 with #productbuyback! ♻️ That's the uptake equivalent to 2,169 trees for a full year - a forest the size of 4 football fields! ⚽ ❓ How does that come about? The answer is #productreuse which is innate in the product buyback solution. Consumers can return their old products after using, hassle-free. No inconvenience of wrapping their head around how to get rid of their useless phone or outdated laptop. 📱💻 When the returned product is taken to use for the second time, the value is created and environmental gains reveal. 🔄 🤔 What does it actually mean? ❌ 63.89 kg of CO2 is emitted to produce and distribute a new iPhone. ❎ 2.27 kg of CO2 is emitted to refurbish and reuse an iPhone. 💚  That is more than a 96% environmental gain in terms of carbon emissions. In fact, our circular product buyback model lends itself to multiple sectors from micromobility (SIRQEL) 🚲 to household appliances (BlueMovement.com) 🏠 and gardening gear (STIHL) ⚒️, not to mention the #ecommerce giant Komplett Group and Apple Premium Resellers Infografikk and FundK who are killing it in the #consumerelectronics space! 📱 🙏 We can't thank enough all those 100,000+ consumers and dozens of leading brands who have joined our sustainability journey. These people and merchants are making a daily effort together with us to shift to the #circulareconomy. ♻️ #payments #recommerce #sustainable #sustainablepayments #sustainablefinance #productasaservice #recycling #ewaste #financialtechnology

#ModernExpo_retailtrends Retailers are now keying in on consumer purchases' ethical and environmental impact, leading to a surge in sustainability trends. Brands and stores embrace responsible practices, from sourcing materials to product packaging. Legislators are also backing these changes, further encouraging consumers to prioritize sustainability. Companies are now under greater scrutiny, demanding transparency at every production stage. In this digital age, understanding the customer is central to retail strategies, making sustainability a reasonable expectation. Non-compliant companies will likely see decreased sales as traceability software becomes the norm. For marketers, this means making informed decisions throughout a product's lifecycle, from development to end-of-life disposal. Transparency is essential to show consumers the effort being made towards conscious practices. Brands are expected to optimize forecasting, minimize overstock, and reduce their environmental footprint to offer eco-friendly products that empower consumers to change positively. Sustainability is not just a passing trend; it's here to stay, and retailers will be held accountable for their choices. #ModernExpo #wearemodern #wecreateretailnew #GoModern

As consumers increasingly opt for #EVs, the availability of #evcharging stations at shopping venues is becoming a crucial factor in their retail experience.

🌍 Circularity UNDRESS report: sustainability is transforming the German electronics industry—circular business models are leading the way! 📱   Circular business models, like used sales and rental services, are revolutionizing the way electronics are used. In Germany, the adoption of these models is gaining traction, especially in the B2B sector. Businesses are increasingly choosing used, refurbished and rental options for smartphones, laptops, and more, driven by the benefits of cost savings, flexibility, and environmental responsibility.   These models extend the lifespan of devices and reduce the need for new resources, contributing to lower carbon emissions and less electronic waste. Companies such as Everphone, Grover, rebuy, Ingram Micro, Assurant, Foxway Recommerce and Recommerce Group, and others are at the forefront of this shift, offering practical solutions that make sustainability achievable and economically viable. 🌱💻   However, while the B2B market leads the charge, the B2C market has significant potential for growth. Consumers are becoming more interested in sustainable alternatives but still face barriers like pricing, warranties, and flexibility. Overcoming these challenges will be crucial to unlocking the full environmental benefits of the circular economy. 🌿   #RightToRepair #GreenTech #SustainableBusiness #CircularEconomy #Reuse #Electronics
