Abstract

Third-party mobile phone retail stores receive a large number of second-hand mobile phones through trade-in, and small and medium-sized merchants in the industrial chain have huge circulation demand. However, due to the decentralization of the market, the multi-level transaction and the lack of industry standards, the transaction turnover efficiency is low, and the behavior of shoddy and fraud is common, and users lack trust in the trading platform. In this situation, love recycling came into being. However, driven by circular economy and environmental protection policies, second-hand trading platforms are facing profit challenges under the heavy asset model. Taking AHS Recycle as an example, this paper discusses how to realize the sustainable profit of the heavy asset model under the concept of environmental protection through technological innovation, industrial chain integration and policy coordination. The study found that AHS Recycle effectively balanced high-cost investment and profit demand through the “self-operated+platform” two-wheel-driven business model, intelligent recycling network construction and policy dividend undertaking. Its experience shows that second-hand platforms can transform environmental value into commercial value and provide reproducible solutions for the industry through standardized processes, technology empowerment and green consumption scenario innovation.
