Exploring Circular Tech: Rental: Trailer

Welcome back to HappyPorch Radio! 

We are back with a very exciting new season where our host Barry O’Kane will be joined by two new co-hosts, each bringing unique perspectives and expertise. Jo Weston is a brand builder helping sustainable and circular businesses. Tandi Tuakli is working in fashion and technology and also helping brands create circular business models.

This season the focus is on Rental business models & Rental as an approach to circularity. A major theme will be the role of enablers — from tech platforms to logistics providers — that make rental systems viable. We will be talking to various guests and experts on the following topics:

• Defining Rental, leasing, and subscription-based business models in the circular economy.
• How Rental can range from short-term rentals to long-term product servitisation.
• Where are we seeing rental success? (product types, geographies, established products/sectors vs newer approaches, B2C vs B2B)
• Exploring tech and logistical infrastructure necessary for scaling rental businesses. 
• What are the challenges?
• What are the future opportunities?
• And much more!

Stay tuned, the first episode is coming out soon!
