Problem Addressed

Reselling, donating and recycling unused items is often complex and time-consuming. Many people would love to give a new life to their unused items and free up some space, but are hindered by logistics challenges and a lack of time.

Solution Overview

惭枚办办颈 makes access to the circular economy easy:

Users drop their items at the nearest 惭枚办办颈 space.
惭枚办办颈 takes care of the rest, from reselling to donations and recycling with its selected partners.
Users get the resale price (if sold) and can view the impact of their item’s sale/donation in terms of saved eq. CO2 on their personal dashboard.
The service is 100% free for end users.

How does it work behind the scenes?

惭枚办办颈 staff collect the items and transfer them to a central warehouse using a cargo bike.
The items are sorted in the warehouse between reselling, donation and recycling, depending on user preferences and item condition.
惭枚办办颈 works with sustainable partners for each item category (e.g. with Reflaunt for reselling premium fashion items).
惭枚办办颈’s in-house technology manages its operations and measures the impact of its activities (saved eq. CO2) which is then shared with both users (dashboard) and B2B clients (quarterly reporting).

The effectiveness of the solution is measured in terms of number of saved objects and saved eq. CO2.

The objective of 惭枚办办颈’s real estate clients is to offer services to their tenants, make their buildings more attractive, accelerate the leasing time and increasing their positive environmental impact. 惭枚办办颈 adoption rate is on average 3x higher than the mainstream alternative: on average, 30%+ of building users use 惭枚办办颈. Landlords are another group that are actively looking for services with a positive impact, for their own ESG strategy and/or to make their buildings more attractive. Traditional services often communicate on how they minimize the negative externalities of their service. 惭枚办办颈 service has a positive environmental and social impact by design, which is a strong differentiation.

There are two options to deploy 惭枚办办颈 service:

Classic 惭枚办办颈 with dedicated space and staff in the building.
惭枚办办颈 Lite service based on building existing staff (e.g. reception people) using 惭枚办办颈’s technology.

The cost of a Classic 惭枚办办颈 depends on the opening hours and the size of the building.

Case Study

The 惭枚办办颈 space at Morland Mixit茅 Capitale in Paris, now named La F茅licit茅, is an interesting case study. The mixed-use site, with offices, hotels, apartments and retail spaces, opened in June 2022. 惭枚办办颈 is available for all end users (office workers, neighbors, retail clients) and generated immediate interest from the onset. Registrations and usage (items dropped at 惭枚办办颈 for reselling, donation and recycling) are growing fast, and even higher growth is anticipated in September 2022 when residents return from summer vacation.
