Ever Lasting: give to receive,
act to preserve!
Ever Lasting is a mobile app that encourages the reuse and transformation of objects.
Ever Lasting is an eco-friendly mobile app designed to promote the reuse and transformation of everyday objects. It is aimed at anyone who wants to adopt a sustainable approach by giving their possessions a second life rather than throwing them away. With its intuitive interface and interactive features, Ever Lasting makes it easy for individuals to share, exchange, and promote recycled or upcycled items.
About
Ever Lasting offers individuals and professionals (schools, businesses, etc.) a simple and intuitive space to give, collect, or customize items, while promoting more responsible consumption.
The application is based on a community-driven and sustainable approach that allows users to:
– Give away or collect items,
– Post ads with photos, categories, and geolocation,
– View and respond to requests for items,
– Track personal statistics (CO₂ saved, donations made, items collected, savings generated, etc.),
– Share transformations of items with before/after photos.
Background
In a world marked by overconsumption and waste, Ever Lasting responds to a twofold challenge:
– Ecological: extending the life of objects and reducing waste;
– Social and economic: facilitating community access to useful goods through donation and sharing, highlighting top donors with a barometer to encourage users to donate more.
The application developed by NetDevices is based on a circular economy approach, highlighting concrete impacts and promoting responsible behavior.
NetDevices has set up a simple simulator
that will allow you to obtain a cost estimate for your project.
