CircularRetailer
Sharpei is a platform used by merchant (B2B) clients to offer leased products to consumers (B2C) - functionally enabling retailers to host circular retail/lease offers via their checkout. Classification chosen because the product enables retailers to deliver circular offers on their storefronts (B2B2C flow). Evidence: product pages and LinkedIn partner announcements.
R1 - Rethink, R3 - Reuse, R5 - Refurbish
Primary: R1 (Rethink) - shifting purchasing to access/subscription; R3 (Reuse) - enabling leasing/resale to give products subsequent life. Secondary: evidence of resale/returns and buyback partners suggests support for refurbishment/refurbish (R5). Sources: platform product pages and LinkedIn partner posts.
