Kilian Kaminski reveals where the idea for the refurbed marketplace came from and discusses both the sustainability and economics of the refurbished industry as well as the importance of building trust and consumer confidence in this sector.
Sadly Brexit was mentioned as a business block for the UK, but setting that aside, refurbed has grown incredibly in Europe over the past five years and the future is even bigger than the €1bn refurbished tech sales they’ve achieved to date, with expansion planned for both growing the consumer base and branching out into new categories.
