Renting your way to a better world starts here
By Max van Nijnatten – 4 minute read
What if borrowing was the boldest climate move you made this year?
Let’s be honest. Most of us own more than we use. That tent in the closet? Camped in twice. The juicer? Fun for a week. The power drill? Used for 13 minutes—total.
Now imagine this: what if instead of buying, you borrowed it all from someone a few blocks away?
With platforms like ivault, that future is already here. A sharing platform that connects people locally to rent household appliances, tools, gear, and more—ivault turns overconsumption into community action. And the best part? It’s cheaper, greener, and a whole lot friendlier.

Why renting is rising with Gen Z and Millennials
We’re stepping into an era where “ownership” feels outdated. From Netflix passwords to Airbnb, sharing is second nature now. What’s next? Everything from lawnmowers to lighting kits.
This shift is about more than saving space or cash. It’s about living with intention. When we rent for zero waste living, we’re rejecting the culture of overproduction that’s clogging our planet and straining our wallets.
The data’s clear: shared living and local sustainability solutions aren’t fringe ideas—they’re becoming norms. Especially among 18–40 year olds, who see climate action not as a nice-to-have, but a lifestyle standard.
How one small act becomes a big impact
Using ivault to rent instead of buy means:
- Less clutter in your life
- More savings in your wallet
- Fewer emissions from production and shipping
- Stronger bonds with your community
It’s the circular economy in motion, on a neighborhood scale.

Want a better way to live? Start by asking: “Can I borrow this?”
to shrink your carbon footprint, ivault makes shared living a seamless part of everyday life.
It’s not just a sharing platform. It’s a movement. And you’re invited.
