[DRAFT]

  • With the goal of providing more value for Open Products Facts users, we want to make it easy to find a way to get or donate an object for free (eg. get or donate a microwave).
  • This page will list all Object donation websites websites in the world, with matching APIs when they exist, and with the url structure for a category.
  • We are listing website that give or sell 2nd hand objects, which can be controversial. We do not intend to sell links, we just
  • It’s a balancing act between the ethics of the site and inventory. With the idea that it will always be second hand, so already better than 1st hand, even if the website is not charitable.
  • There is no referral/sponsor link. We do not get money, we haven't made any deal, as as this is written, we have not contacted any of those websites. The goal is really to redirect consumption impulses towards circular solutions that won't emit massive additional amounts of C02 into the atmosphere.
  • In addition to these websites, you can also consider donating/getting objects from local charities, associations, or social centers in your area. They often accept donations of clothes, furniture, and other essential items to support people in need. We need lists of those charities for each country, if possible with available categories, ideally with real time inventory (we have one in France).

In general for a good user experience, and to ensure users will use the feature in supermarkets, we want to ensure that 1/ It’s not a disappointing link (enough inventory, ideally close to the initial consumption pulsion, eg the user will find what more or less what (S)he wants in 2nd hand, or an acceptable replacement) 2/ A maximum of users will use it (even those too lazy to move to a physical 2nd hand store, or too far away from it). Internet solutions scale must faster, and thus accelerate the 2nd hand transition..
