Collaborative consumption is growing and has become a hot topic, as it is developing in terms of innovation and market shares. However, while observing the functioning of sharing platforms, we noticed that there are two kinds of users: those who share their belongings with others and those who enjoy the temporary access to these goods. By looking closely at the distribution among these users, we came to the conclusion that only a small percentage of them actually share their possessions.

The aim of this study is to identify barriers to involvement in CC. By involvement, we mean sharing one’s goods through a CC platform. 
Through a case study of Wibee, we will try to understand why people would be reluctant to share their own goods with others through a literature review, an exploratory research and a conclusive research. When trying to identify barriers, we will inevitably talk about drivers to involvement in CC, in opposition to those. In this paper, we will also consider that drivers and barriers to participation in CC are part of what has to be studied. Indeed, if one is not willing to join a platform, neither will he be prone to share his belongings.

Finally, recommendations for the company will be formulated to help overcome the barriers identified, still in the specific case of Wibee, and a conclusion will help generalise those drivers and barriers to CC as a whole.

Jens Kopp analyzes the potential of car sharing as a new mobility solution in light of progressive urbanization and researches factors influencing the use of car sharing to assess the growth outlook of car sharing services. He performs a regression analysis to identify statistically significant factors influencing the use and evaluation of car sharing services based on an empirical field research conducted in Germany (n=175). Key findings include that cost saving is the only researched factor relevant to influence the use of car sharing services as well as the evaluation of car sharing and the assessment of its future. The existing research shows that car sharing is a viable lever to address substantial ecological and economic mobility issues and the conducted research provides new insights into the factors influencing the use and evaluation of car sharing services.

En mêlant réflexion théorique et perspectives opérationnelles, ce livre souhaite questionner les transformations urbaines occasionnées sur le temps long par l’émergence des mobilités partagées mises en œuvre par de grandes firmes privées mondialisées. Dans quelle mesure la participation de ces nouveaux acteurs aux politiques de mobilité des villes transforme-t-elle le rôle des institutions publiques dans la gestion urbaine ? Ces systèmes de mobilité peuvent-ils répondre aux enjeux écologiques du xxie siècle ? Quels sont les gagnants et les perdants de ces recompositions dans l’économie des transports, les institutions et les structures sociales urbaines ? Ces questions sont abordées à partir de l’analyse du développement récent des systèmes de vélos en libre-service et d’autopartage, en proposant une réflexion plus générale sur la place du capitalisme dans l’innovation en matière de mobilité et dans la fabrique de la ville. L’ouvrage permet de saisir les contours des nouvelles économies collaboratives en interrogeant la gouvernance « public-privé » des mobilités partagées. Cette seconde édition souhaite actualiser le développement de l’auteur à travers l’introduction d’une étude de cas de l’évolution historique des mobilités partagées à Paris, la prise en compte de l’arrivée des dispositifs de mobilité en free floating dans les grandes villes et l’intégration de nombreux éléments d’actualité (changement d’opérateur, nouveaux acteurs, etc.). Le livre souhaite offrir des outils de réflexion aux différents acteurs de la ville avant les élections municipales de 2020, période au cours de laquelle les mobilités partagées seront au cœur des débats politiques et citoyens.

Circular solutions are essential to tackle the eminent challenges of depleting resources and emerging environmental problems. The complex nature of material and energy systems and the changing of economic and technological conditions differ among countries and, therefore, lead to the application of vastly different practices in developed and rapidly developing countries of the world. A wide variety of theoretical approaches can be used to facilitate a shift from the linear use of resources to circular systems, e.g., circular product planning, life cycle planning, sharing and platform economy, refurbishing, and remanufacturing, to name but a few. The introduction and examination of circular solutions can be based on theoretical models in order to guarantee ensure successful application. Successful application of innovative technology approaches, business solutions, and organizational development can be facilitated through theoretical models and new scientific results that support innovation processes. This Special Issue reprint focuses on sustainable and innovative methods which help and enable the proper use and recovery of resources. We present a collection of research papers, reviews, research reports, and case studies that introduce or discuss circular solutions for the sustainable use of resources.
