A robot could make old clothes fashionable again. With unused and depreciated work materials or equipment, however, things are a little harder. Still, functional objects are worth something.
Which is why a French startup is providing companies with platforms for reuse. Listed on an internal online portal, employees can loan these objects or exchange them for something else.
Points that can be converted into gift vouchers offer incentive aplenty. Employees can also post their own used items online and loan or give them away to colleagues.
Companies can list unwanted objects or residual stock on an external platform and sell or donate it accordingly. To charities if they wish.
A similar scheme in Romania focuses exclusively on supporting charitable organisations.
