What is Fainin's motto?

Rent instead of buy, because sharing is the new owning!

... is Fainin's motto. But what exactly does that mean for us, society and our environment?
We all know about the Fridays For Future movement, educational documentaries on climate change and vegan food. Fainin is based precisely on this awareness of sustainability: Here, sharing and communal consumption are to become established and not just a trend, but normality.

But why should we share more?

There are several reasons that speak for sharing. In this article, we have summarised four key points for you.

1. Sharing promotes sustainable consumption!

If we share with each other, we need less overall. This could counteract mass consumption, which is a major contributor to climate change. For example, a household usually uses a drill only once every two months. This means that one machine could be shared by about 50 people. With the resulting 50-to-1 ratio, one can assume a 98% resource saving. Theoretically, Fainin's platform can thus reduce the demand for drills or comparable products by up to 98%. In the long run, this would influence the manufacturing market so that production numbers are reduced and the associated energy consumption and emissions are saved.

2. Sharing is good for people!

The reduction in production also brings about social improvements in the countries affected by the exploitation of resources. Here, too, mass production is mainly responsible for ecological and social problems such as human rights violations, air and water pollution, land displacement and forced resettlement.

3. Sharing reduces the waste produced!

Sharing extends the life cycles of items. Because the disposal of some things also brings problems. And waste - as every child knows - is a burden on the environment! In addition, illegal exports to foreign countries also occur time and again during disposal, whereby the waste releases toxic substances that are harmful to health and the work is often carried out by children.

4. Sharing offers new opportunities for all!

To get individual access to high quality items, one usually has to buy from a manufacturing company. Even in Germany, not everyone has the purchasing power to afford only the latest & greatest. Through Fainin, everyone has access to a wide range of products at fair prices. So why not lend out something that is just gathering dust at home anyway?
