Circular Type
Marketplace
• Products
• B2B2C
Thriftify functions as a platform that lists products from charity shops and pre‑owned sellers for consumers; the service operates as both a listing/marketplace facilitator and a SaaS tool. Classification as 'Marketplace' reflects the platform's role in facilitating product transactions (products → consumers) while acknowledging dual SaaS/marketplace functionality.

R Strategy
R3 - Reuse, R1 - Rethink
Primary strategy is Reuse (R3) because the platform lists pre‑owned goods for continued use; Rethink (R1) is a secondary inference as it supports new delivery channels (online listings) for existing physical goods. Evidence: product pages and case studies. Source: Thriftify
