Reps. Sydney Kamlager-Dove and Nicole Malliotakis launched the Recommerce Caucus Wednesday — a bipartisan coalition that will champion the buying and selling of pre-owned, refurbished and secondhand goods.

With the endorsement of leading platforms like eBay, Etsy, Pinterest and Poshmark, the caucus will advocate for policies to empower small sellers and encourage environmentally responsible commerce. The growing sector is projected to reach $1.04 trillion globally by 2035.
