FNAC Portugal begins buying back read books from customers for resale

FNAC Portugal has extended its RESTART scheme, until now used for trading in second-hand technology, to books. Customers list the titles they want to sell on fnac.pt and receive an offer based on market demand. They then take the books to a store, where the condition is checked and payment is made on a gift card valid in any FNAC shop and online. Books bought back are resold through the marketplace, where used titles are already on sale. The company presents the move as part of its circular economy commitment and its pledge on reading.
