not only for financial transactions however additionally for advancing
sustainable consumption practices. In latest years, as environmental

environmental concerns, decreasing waste, and fostering a round economic
system model. China, as a worldwide monetary powerhouse, wields massive
influence over intake styles and manufacturing procedures. therefore, the
trajectory of its second-hand marketplace holds profound implications for
international sustainability efforts. In opposition to the backdrop of mounting
environmental challenges and the need for greater responsible useful resource
control, the role of 2nd-hand markets in prolonging product lifecycles and
mitigating resource depletion becomes ever extra pertinent.
