YoungPlanet is a platform and app designed to ‘declutter, give joy, save the planet...and it won't cost a penny’. The app was founded by parents to address the inherent waste, product obsolescence and cost of raising children as well as to help declutter modern homes and keep things out of landfill. YoungPlanet combines transactional functionality with sharing economy principles. Users list unwanted items on the app or look for items they may want or need. In the latter case, they make contact with the ‘giver’ and exchange messages to arrange the exchange either in person, at a drop off location, or via post or courier. Everything is always given and received for free. The app can currently be downloaded UK-wide.
