Own less, have more': French app rents out underused household items
Briefly

Lucie Basch, known for her anti-food waste app, has introduced Poppins, an app designed to combat the underuse and overconsumption of household items. The app helps users borrow or rent items they need from their local community, operating under the motto "own less, have more." With 65% of items offered for free, Poppins quickly gained traction by attracting 40,000 users shortly after its launch. It encourages sharing over shopping, including listings from rental shops and borrowing outlets, thus promoting ecological and economic sustainability.
The aim is to connect people who have things they don't need with people who might want to borrow or rent them under the slogan own less, have more.
The Poppins app enables users to share everyday household items efficiently, promoting the idea that sharing can be more beneficial than shopping.
