echo is a platform aimed at small businesses who have products and services to rent out. Users can log on and see all the available items in their area which they can hire for a party or event etc. Someone can find where they can rent a marquee, BBQ, table & chairs, all in one neat place. People on holiday locations will also benefit from the site to find somewhere they can hire a bicycle, camera and surf board. Where this site differs is where members of the public can also post their own household items which they are happy to let others rent from them, like a lawnmower, a rare board game or a fancy dress costume. echo wants to be eco-friendly - we want to reduce the strain on the world's resources by encouraging people to borrow and reuse items rather than buying for short term use. Today's throw-away culture is stronger than ever, but with recycling on the rise, we need to make it easier for people to make an impact.
