Abstract

Electronic auction markets and trading platforms open up new scope, especially with regard to sustainable consumption. The further development of internet-supported second-hand markets offers opportunities to tap previously unused potential for environmental relief. This potential is essentially based on the possibility of extending the life and use phase of products by marketing second-hand goods and thus avoiding additional environmental burdens through new purchases.
