Membership also aid in democratizing access to goods and services across social groups by lowering entry restrictions, especially for expensive things like electronics or luxury goods.
It’s not just about comfort or cost savings as this license revolution grows. Another major advantage is conservation. Every year, Singapore produces about 60, 000 tonnes of electrical waste, which is equivalent to throwing away 70 cellular phones every year.
