Since the beginning of the 21st century, it has become an important part of the world economy posing a number of challenges to the operating companies and regulatory bodies.

In consumer models, attention is being paid to sustainable (green, moral) consumption. The aim of the study is to characterize and clarify the importance of the sharing economy. The study focuses on: presenting the main characteristics of the sharing economy, clarifying the factors that underlie its emergence; examining the consumer practices that distinguish it, as well as the ways of measuring and assessing it.
