“…In response to these challenges, designers and activists have proposed different strategies, one of which is use intensification through collaborative consumption (Ertz, Durif, & Arcand, 2016;Laitala, 2014;Park & Armstrong, 2017). One of the specific examples of collaborative consumption in fashion is clothe swapping as it could contribute to reducing demand for new products (Farrant et al, 2010;Iran & Schrader, 2017;Zamani, Sandin, & Peters, 2017).…”

One of the sectors that are being challenged to become circular is the clothing sector.Clothe swapping is considered as an example of a circular solution that enables slowing material loops. However, consumers have failed to widely engage in this type of practice and only a few studies explore this topic using a social practice perspective. This theoretical approach bridges individual and structural approaches to social change. In this study we explore why people in an emerging economy such as Colombia engage in clothe swapping, by exploring it from a social practice perspective.Based on interview and visual data, we explored the configuration of the practice, the interaction between elements, and the reasons why it recruits practitioners. We found that people participate in clothe swapping for economic, environmental, and innovative reasons. In order to perform the practice, three types of elements are involved: material elements such as clothes and place, skills for selecting and preparing the clothes for exchange and rules regarding these materials and behaviours during the event, and images and meanings. We characterised three interconnections between these elements that have been used to enable the practice, and finally, we explored how the participants' networks, histories, and capitals; the social significance of the practice; and its connections to other practices influence recruitment. This approach allowed us to identify paradoxes between the purpose and the implementation of the practice. Future research could use this perspective to compare cases in different socio-economic context.

“…As such, this thesis palliates the lack of conceptual clarity on collaborative consumption, and it attempts to reconcile and clarify previous research findings that use the term. Some research has been arguing that collaborative consumption can include a change of ownership (Belk 2014b;de Rivera et al 2017;Ertz et al 2018aErtz et al , 2018bHamari et al 2016;Herbert and Collin-Lachaud 2017;Lindblom et al 2018;Perren and Grauerholz 2015;Roos and Hahn 2017), whereas this thesis emphasizes the access paradigm (e.g., rental) salient to service research.…”

“…Indeed, collaborative consumption was most often used to emphasize the P2P dimension but not the access dimension of the phenomenon (Belk 2014b;de Rivera et al 2017;Ertz et al 2018aErtz et al , 2018bHamari et al 2016;Herbert and Collin-Lachaud 2017;Lindblom et al 2018;Perren and Grauerholz 2015;Roos and Hahn 2017). For example, Perren and Grauerholz (2015) referred to the term as a new version of e-commerce for all sorts of monetary exchanges between private people mediated by the Internet (i.e. Uber, Airbnb, TaskRabbit, eBay, and LendingClub); this refers to both tangible and intangible exchanges and is not only about the shared usage of underutilized resources.…”

“…Importantly, BlaBlaCar and GoMore facilitate online payment, which is among the reasons that collaborative consumption is associated with e-commerce websites (e.g., Perren and Grauerholz 2015). That is, P2P exchanges in collaborative consumption are set in a market logic due to the agreed terms of exchange (e.g., price), such as a contract (Houston and Gassenheimer 1987).…”

“…These exchanges are most commonly peer-to-peer [31][32][33], although some scholars contend that one party may also be a business [34][35][36]. Another point widely accepted by researchers is better and more effective resource allocation, eliminating any kind of idle capacity [30,37].…”

Is Sharing a Better Alternative for the Planet? The Contribution of Sharing Economy to Sustainable Development Goals

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The sharing economy has been presented as a potential contributor to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) due to the change it brings to consumption patterns. Although this potential has been identified in different papers, there is not, as far as we know, a single article that explains in detail all the possible platforms through which the sharing economy can contribute to the achievement of the SDGs. This paper addresses this topic by reviewing the existing literature involving the sharing economy and the SDGs, and by analyzing the main characteristics attributed to this business model, and how each one of them may in theory contribute to the SDGs. Our paper advances the field by establishing hitherto undiscovered relationships between the two concepts, while laying the foundations for corroborating our theoretical findings in future analytical studies.
