This research explores how secondhand clothing stores can be used to promote and expand a circular economy (CE) for used clothes. The CE model is a system in which products are kept in a cycle of use, thus reducing natural resource extraction and waste accumulation. Some circular activities include reusing, repairing, sharing, and recycling. This model contrasts with the primary apparel market which relies on a linear model to produce, use, and dispose of clothes. How do secondhand stores remake people's relationship to commodities and to other people in their communities? How do secondhand clothing stores enable people's engagement with, and potentially expand, the circular economy? I interviewed five business owners/managers and surveyed 92 secondhand shoppers in the Boston Metropolitan Area to understand how market segmentation can be used to expand the secondhand market to meet a variety of consumer needs and learn of the different motivations to shop secondhand. From my findings, I infer that the diversity in the secondhand market allows a variety of consumers to participate in secondhand shopping, and market diversity enables businesses to connect with people in their community. I also found that the burden of managing textile waste in the form of unwanted, used clothing often falls upon secondhand stores. Improving textile waste management will require retailers, producers, and policymakers to rethink how the CE is practiced.
