What’s it about?

The Product Returns Research Group invites you to participate in a brainstorming and discussion session about ways to make retail more circular and sustainable. Let's explore what alternatives end consumers find acceptable and enticing: instead of buying a clothing item, sports equipment or baby gear, would you rent it, lease it, or borrow it? Would you prefer an annual membership, a monthly subscription, or a pay-as-you-go solution?
