Why buy, when you can rent?

Founded on the principle that 'if everyone makes a change, the world can change', JustRent.uk set out to help everyone, make a small change. In a nutshell, we want to help reduce the amount of waste and pollution caused by manufacturing products we rarely use. Instead we intend to provide them to people on a short term basis and in an ideal world, supplied to them locally and delivered and collected as sustainably as possible.

The Sharing Economy is not new

Small independents across the world are supplying the increasing demand from consumers for a more sustainable way to live. The problem is that the 'Old economy' exists by the continual consumption and replacement of products that are usually made cheaply and shipped globally. Neither of these things is considered sustainable any more and as consumer behaviour changes away from these practises, we hope to be able to help them make that change.

What are the barriers to people making the change?

No one buys the marquee they used at their wedding, right? So why do we buy a drill to put up one shelf every 6 months? How many food processors are taking up storage in kitchen cupboards waiting for the next health kick? There are so many small plastic electrical things in our homes, that we have bought, but rarely use.
