Abstract

This paper examines alternative consumption markets through the lens of a community enterprise commodity redistribution as a means to understand how consumer action can disrupt the dominant paradigm of retailing and consumer resilience. The aim here is to determine how redistribution markets contribute to creating a sense of community that fosters mutual emotional and tangible support networks and extends the lifecycle of commodities that supports the sustainability agenda.
