We only have one planet. How do Sharelians contribute to care for it? When making a transaction on Sharely, you actually save on average more than 88 kg CO2 - equivalent.
Too good to be true?
Sharely worked with ESU-services, an external partner specialized in life cycle assessments (LCA).
The table hereafter summarizes the whole calculation. Up for some more reading?
You can find here their full study about the environmental benefits of Sharely transactions, we explain it all in details.
Per rental transaction 88.4kg CO2-eq are saved- With 100 rental transactions, 52 new article purchases are avoided.
Usership over ownership
We all have way too many things at home that we are not using.
Yet when we need something, the first option coming to our mind is often to go and buy it.
There are many articles that we are using only a few times per year. Drills, beamers, tents, DOY tools, drones...
That's why circular economy becomes a win-win solution for people, and for the environment.
By sharing articles among each other, not only CO2 emissions are reduced,
but everyone gets access to a wider range of things and activities:
renting an article costs a fraction of the cost of buying it.
Even expensive things become accessible to everyone.
Impact at scale
Enabling businesses to join the movement
The circular economy vision gives endless possibilities to create a thriving economy within planetary boundaries. Everyone and everything must be involved: businesses, governments and individuals; our cities, our products, and our jobs.
And who has always a broad choice of articles available, ready to be used by people who may need them? Stores! Whether small or big, stores have a lot of underused resources in their warehouses.
The challenge for stores: mainstream commerce and store management softwares are designed to sell ownership of goods - not to sell access to goods. We help businesses to transition from a classic retail model to access economy. Because to lower our CO2 footprint with scale, we need to do it all together!
