Description

The City of Brussels has been using Usitoo for boosting their service platform on the city territory from January 1st, 2022. Thanks to the financial support covering the company’s fixed costs, all delivery made at the delivery points of the city territory are free of charge, city residents get 25% reduction on all rental fees, and city associations and socially-specific publics get 50% off. In addition, the city communicates around the system and promotes its usage on its main website.

Impact & Result

  • Reduced carbon emissions by an average of 130 kg per use, leading to significant environmental impact.
  • Decreased waste generation by 4.7 times the weight of the object, promoting sustainable practices.
  • Achieved substantial CO2 savings ranging from 60 to 200 kg per use, contributing to the company's sustainability goals.

Solution Spotlight

Book, pick, use, bring or send back! Usitoo intends to ease sharing of most objects used less than 10 times a year. Typical categories include sport equipment, cooking, gardening, partying sets, DIY tools, car equipment and leisure equipment. Key operating principles: Usitoo works primarily by having a wide library of objects that it manages in its own warehouses. As users become members of Usitoo, they benefit from a unique account in the platform and a wallet of Usi-points that they accumulate via their monthly member fees or prepaid cards. These points are then spent to rent objects. Users can determine when and where the pickup/dropoff of the object will take place. Usitoo offers a unique software platform with an easy interface for its users to manage their wallets and book their objects, while also preparing all the the information needed by Usitoo to perform its service.
