No turning back from sharing economy - experts

Carsharing, a model of car rental where people rent cars for short periods of time, often by the minute, is becoming more and more popular. Soon there will be 50 more electric cars in the car-sharing fleet in Warsaw. Experts argue that there is no turning back from the sharing economy - it is profitable and saves natural resources. According to data from the Vooom mobile platform, there are already around 1,800 cars available for rental per minute in Warsaw, which is as much as 46 percent of all such cars in Poland. Soon there will be many more.
"As you can see on the streets, there is no turning back from sharing economy," said the president of the Polish Chamber of Commerce Andrzej Arendarski. Sharing is cost-effective for the economy and beneficial for the natural environment, taking into account the problem of climate change and dwindling natural resources, and this is of particular importance to young consumers, he stated.
