Catherine Weetman talks to Tom Fecarotta of Rheaply, a company based in the US. Rheaply helps organisations share physical assets and other resources either within, or outside the organisation. Rheaply works across a number of sectors, bio-pharma to retail, helping clients get more use out of idle assets including equipment, materials and chemicals. They can choose to donate, or to sell those un-used assets.
We hear about Rheaply’s core technology, its Asset Exchange Manager, and how this allows people to highlight those unused assets. We hear about the focus on Zero Waste in the US, and how Rheaply uses gamification to help people become Zero Waste Heroes in their organisation. We also find out why assets that still have value get discarded, and why looking at your internal operations first can pay dividends for resource efficiency and sustainability.
Podcast host Catherine Weetman helps businesses use circular, regenerative and fair solutions to do better, with less.
