The circular economy playbook, episode 21: Unlocking the huge economic potential for recommerce businesses with Visa and Barclaycard Payments
In this episode, Ali and Graeme interview guests Alessandro Figueroa, head of SMB business for commercial solutions at Visa Europe and Linda Weston, managing director, head of commercial issuing at Barclaycard Payments about the vast economic opportunities for circular “recommerce” business models.
They discuss both Visa's and Barclaycard’s research measuring the significant and ever growing contribution of recommerce businesses – such as resale, reuse, repair and rental businesses – to the economy; and how businesses are already measuring the fiscal benefits of switching to recommerce revenue streams to meet consumer demand.
They also outline the role that payment providers and card issuers can play in supporting circular recommerce businesses to thrive in a changing world, with shifting consumer demands and wider motivations around sustainability, and their role in making people’s experience of recommerce shopping smooth and frictionless.
