BorrowMy shows you what your friends, family and neighbours already own and are happy to lend — without the awkwardness of asking around.
Why buy a drill you'll use twice? Borrow one from a neighbour instead.
Fewer things manufactured, fewer things in landfill. Sharing is greener.
Get to know the people around you. A small favour goes a long way.
Four simple steps to start borrowing and lending with the people you trust.
Take a photo, add a title and choose who to share it with. That's it.
Create groups for your street, family, friends, school, work and more.
Borrow from people you know. No strangers, no shipping, just honest messages.
Share what you already own, reduce waste and help each other out.
Every street is full of drills, ladders, pressure washers and camping gear sitting in garages and sheds barely being used. BorrowMy makes them all visible so nothing goes to waste.
When you borrow instead of buying new, you skip an entire chain of environmental impact — from raw materials to your doorstep.
Sharing avoids extraction, manufacturing, packaging and transport. For many tools, most lifetime emissions occur before the owner even uses them.
Fewer new products means less demand for steel, aluminium, copper, plastics and lithium — and less mining and processing impact.
Manufacturing metals, plastics and electronics has substantial water footprints. Every purchase avoided is water saved upstream.
Fewer rarely-used products entering landfill or incineration. Sharing also reduces packaging waste from every new purchase.
Neighbours helping neighbours — one borrow at a time.
