Barter.com

Long description

According to the Research Institute of Solid Waste Management Engineering, the estimated amount of waste generated worldwide in 2050 will be 32 billion tons. As the amount of waste increases, so does the problem of increasing CO2 emissions, which can cause great harm to the entire planet.

We believe that the cause of the increase in waste and CO2 emissions is the problem of the monetary society and the material recycling society.

・Currency society
The value of things is determined by currency, and people think that if they throw something away, they can buy it again by paying for it.

・The recycling society of things
Today, we live in a world where it is natural for each individual to own things, and the cycle of throwing away unnecessary things is becoming more and more common.

We propose a service called Barter.com.
Barter.com is a platform for “barter” and the formation of a “recycling society of goods in a closed community”. We believe that the exchange of goods in a closed community will lead to the idea of owning things as a group, rather than as individuals, and that people will learn to value things more.

We would like to spread the service Barter.com and spread the concept of “use and sell” instead of “use and throw away”. We believe that by spreading this concept, we can promote reuse and solve the problems of waste and CO2 emissions.
