Recommerce Caucus will champion circular fashion in Congress
Two US congresswomen have teamed up to launch a group that will promote what they have called “the recommerce economy”.
Sydney Kamlager-Dove, a Democrat from California, and Nicole Malliotakis, a Republican from New York, have worked together to launch the Recommerce Caucus, a bipartisan coalition that will champion legislation to support the buying and selling of pre-owned, refurbished and secondhand goods.
“Recommerce is more than a trend,” Ms Kamlager-Dove said. “It is a growing economic engine that provides consumers with affordable, high-quality goods and gives entrepreneurs, small businesses, and resellers access to trusted, thriving marketplaces.”
She said the members of the group were committed to advancing policies that will support the circular economy, reduce waste and “empower buyers and sellers nationwide”.
