Energy · London, United Kingdom · Founded 2016

Olioex.com is a unique startup operating in the sharing economy sector. The company's primary service is to facilitate the sharing and reusing of items among local communities, thereby reducing waste and promoting sustainability. The platform is designed to be user-friendly, allowing individuals to upload photos of items they no longer need, set a pick-up location, and arrange for the items to be collected by someone who can make use of them. Olio's target market is broad, encompassing anyone interested in reducing waste, saving money, and fostering a sense of community. This includes individuals, families, and even businesses looking to dispose of surplus goods in a responsible manner. The business model of Olio is based on the principle of a sharing economy, which emphasizes access over ownership. While the platform is free to use for both donors and receivers, the company generates revenue through partnerships with businesses looking to reduce their waste. These businesses pay Olio to help them distribute their surplus goods to the local community, thereby avoiding the cost and environmental impact of disposal. In essence, Olio is a platform that connects people who have items they don't need with those who can use them. It's a win-win situation for all parties involved: donors declutter their homes, receivers save money, businesses reduce waste, and the planet benefits from less waste going to landfill.
