Long description

Share-it! is a social and environmental platform designed as an automated vending machine, enabling residents to share essential tools and strengthen community ties in large residential buildings. The project encourages a circular economy by reducing unnecessary consumption and promoting sustainability. Users can borrow tools like drills, projectors, tents, and bicycle pumps for time periods ranging from one hour to three days. The process is seamless—items are returned to the machine, similar to a library borrowing system, but fully automated. The machine’s structure is constructed from durable aluminum and iron, with a facade made of recycled light birch wood, reflecting a commitment to sustainable materials. The system is managed via a dedicated app, which ensures smooth operation and technical support. Share-it! fosters a sense of community while reducing individual spending and waste, offering a practical, eco-friendly solution to everyday needs.
