Collaborative consumption considers the economy of sharing from the consumer's point of view. It refers to a way of consuming where using is more important than having. Is this based on the argument that collaborative consumption reduces expenses with environmental and social concerns such as the fight against waste and overproduction.
Responsible consumption means that buyers, whether involved in the economy as a private or public entity or as citizen-consumers, must consider environmental impacts at all stages of the product lifecycle for both goods and services.
