The circular distribution model, supported by collaborative platforms, is transforming consumption patterns by promoting second-hand goods. This study explores consumers' motivations for adopting this more responsible model. Through 23 semi-structured interviews, five key factors emerge: price, environmental awareness, nostalgia, time-saving and a sense of empowerment. These factors reveal a shift towards more sustainable and conscious purchasing choices. Second-hand is no longer a simple economic compromise, but a considered act that redefines the value of products and reinforces consumers commitment to more responsible consumption

Abstract

La distribution circulaire, soutenue par les plateformes collaboratives, transforme les habitudes de consommation en mettant l'accent sur les produits de seconde main. Cette étude explore les motivations des consommateurs à adopter ce modèle plus responsable. À travers 23 entretiens semi-directifs, cinq facteurs clés émergent : le prix, la conscience environnementale, la nostalgie, le gain de temps et le sentiment d'empowerment. Ces éléments révèlent une évolution vers des choix d'achat plus durables et conscients. Le recours à la seconde main n'est plus un simple compromis économique, mais un acte réfléchi qui redéfinit la valeur des produits et renforce l'engagement des consommateurs envers une consommation plus responsable.
