Abstract- —The escalating global emphasis on sustainability and the principles of a circular economy have catalyzed the need for innovative digital solutions that extend beyond traditional commerce. This research presents Ecomove, a novel e-commerce platform meticulously engineered to facilitate the buying and selling of second-hand products, thereby promoting resource efficiency and waste reduction. The platform is designed not merely as a marketplace but as a comprehensive ecosystem that integrates core functionalities with planned modules for recycling, product donation, and eco-friendly logistics. This paper details the successful implementation of Ecomove's foundational architecture, which includes a robust user authentication system and fully functional buying and selling workflows. The system is built using a modern web technology stack, featuring a dynamic frontend developed with React.js and a secure, scalable backend powered by Appwrite, an open-source Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS). The choice of Redux Toolkit for state management ensures efficient data handling, while TailwindCSS provides a responsive and intuitive user interface. This document outlines the system architecture, development methodologies, and the design principles underpinning Ecomove. It further discusses the technical challenges encountered, the rationale behind key design decisions, and a roadmap for future development aimed at transforming Ecomove into a holistic digital partner for sustainable living.
