We can all play a part in protecting the environment by reusing goods instead of discarding them in landfills. By passing items on to others, whether it be through family, businesses, or community initiatives, we can reduce the need for new resources and lower carbon emissions. Our guest, May Al-Karooni, shares her inspiring story of founding Globechain.com, the largest dedicated reuse marketplace globally, with just £800 (approximately $1,000). Her vision is to create a platform that facilitates global reuse of surplus inventory and lightly used items. Globechain.com serves as a bridge between corporations, charities, and individuals to repurpose a wide array of products, preventing usable goods from ending up in landfills and offering free items to non-profits and individuals.
May elaborates on the participation of over 10,000 member organizations and the unique model that allows like-new items to be distributed for free to those in need. Companies pay to list their surplus items, receiving environmental reporting and sustainability credits for ESG reporting. If you’re considering starting your own reuse venture, May’s journey offers valuable insights. To discover more about Globechain, visit https://globechain.com
