Consumer Services - København, Capital Region of Denmark, Denmark
Yepti is a newly relaunched sharing-economy platform aiming to empower people through affordable access to specialist equipment. We seek to be part of the solution to the economic, social, and environmental problems faced by all of us here in Denmark and beyond. Overconsumption is one of the most pressing factors in environmental impact, the greatest challenge facing us all today. We need to reduce our consumption of resources in order to protect the world we share. Everything we buy has a high environmental cost in its production, and a high financial cost for us as consumers. Yet there are so many things that we need in our daily lives, for work, and for our projects. A musician may ask themself: ‘do I need an amplifier for my next gig'? A photographer might ask: ‘do I need a faster portrait lens for a low-light wedding shoot'? You may take a look at your apartment floorboards and think: ‘do I need an electric sander to smooth this surface'? The answer to all of these types of questions will most often be ‘yes' - but the answer comes with high costs - both environmental and financial. What we need, then, is a way of mitigating these costs.The solution to lowering these costs becomes apparent when we ask an additional question: ‘do I need to own this item'. The answer here, is most often ‘no'. Yet despite the fact that we live in a shared world, we have not yet fully embraced the fact that we must share its resources in order to preserve it. We still feel driven to own and to consume.Yepti provides a sharing platform which removes this ownership factor. Sharing specialist equipment amongst ourselves makes it more accessible and affordable, and reduces our impact on the environment by minimising consumption. Those of us with the most resources have a responsibility to be on the frontier of this sharing-economy development.
