Rent your baby supplies sustainably

When a baby arrives, you need to buy a lot of stuff, but what if you could rent these products instead of buying them? Renting baby products not only offers financial benefits, but is also a sustainable choice that helps reduce our carbon footprint. Read here how and why renting baby products is sustainable.

Reduction of CO2 emissions and water consumption

Producing new baby products such as strollers costs a lot of raw materials and energy. For example, by renting a stroller, you can easily save 321 kg of CO2, which is equivalent to a car trip from Amsterdam to Budapest. If the same stroller is used by four families, the CO2 saving increases to as much as 962 kg. Renting products also saves water, because no new materials have to be manufactured. This leads to at least 90% less water consumption compared to the production of new baby products.

Less waste through circular economy

When renting baby items, such as a stroller or co-sleeper, you only use the product when you really need it. Once your baby outgrows it, you return it. These items are then thoroughly cleaned and repaired if necessary, so that they can be used again. This ensures that the product remains safe and usable for the next user, reducing the need to produce new products. Once a product is no longer usable, it is recycled, thus closing the loop.

An important aspect of renting is that it fits within a circular economy. This model is aimed at extending the lifespan of products and reusing raw materials. At Tiny Library, for example, packaging material is reused, which allows us to save even more raw materials.

Financial and practical benefits

In addition to the environmental benefits, renting baby products also offers practical and financial advantages. For example, you can save up to 70% of the new price if you rent products from Tiny Library instead of buying them second-hand via platforms such as Marktplaats. Moreover, renting saves a lot of time and effort; you do not have to negotiate with sellers or endure long waiting times, and the products are delivered to your home when it suits you.

Flexibility and convenience

Another great advantage of renting is the flexibility. Baby products such as strollers and co-sleepers are often only used for a short period of time. By renting, you can easily return products when you no longer need them, without cluttering your home with items you no longer use.

Finally

By renting baby products, you contribute to a circular economy. This means that products last longer and that we significantly reduce our ecological footprint. In this way, you help create a more sustainable world for the next generation. In addition, you save time and money, without compromising on convenience or safety. In short, renting is a sustainable, practical and cost-effective choice.
