From phones to exercise bikes, the market for second-hand kit is booming as shoppers search for bargains.

"The linear economy has been the dominant way since the industrial revolution," says Joe Isles, circle of design programme lead at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. "Most of the materials we use we lose - after just one relatively short usage period.
