Summary
The collaborative economy (CE) shows some sustainability benefits like job creation and resource efficiency, but current impacts are less than promised. Collaboration is needed to unlock its full potential.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Science
- Economics
- Sociology
Background:
- The collaborative economy (CE) presents a new economic model with potential sustainability benefits.
- Assessing the CE's actual sustainability performance is crucial for its development.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the current sustainability status of the collaborative economy (CE).
- To evaluate the CE's environmental, economic, and social dimensions using the triple bottom line framework.
- To propose measures for assessing CE sustainability.
Main Methods:
- Literature review and synthesis.
- Application of the triple bottom line framework.
- Qualitative analysis of CE impacts.
Main Results:
- The CE has partially delivered on promises, including job creation, economic growth, efficient resource use, and social interaction.
- Current sustainability gains are modest compared to expectations.
- Significant challenges hinder the CE's full sustainability potential.
Conclusions:
- The CE offers some sustainability advantages but has not fully met its potential.
- A collaborative approach involving governments, platforms, and the public is essential to address challenges.
- Targeted measures are needed to enhance and accurately assess CE sustainability.
