HoBeei is a Tech and Social business with the aim of reducing
inequality using waste. This web app makes it easy for people to Freecycle
by connecting people with unwanted items to those who need them. By
doing so, the ultimate goal is achieved through improved savings by encouraging reuse and
responsible consumption which benefits the environment and promote
social responsibility. Hobeei's mission is to achieve resource redistribution
in the most fun and exciting way which will encourage as many people to
reduce hoarding and freecycle items as soon as they no longer have use
for them.
As a web-based social commerce platform that
aims to contribute to the growth of society by minimising wastes,
improving savings, and instigating a sense of social responsibility
among people, the idea is to create an
online market where people like you can give away their products for
reuse instead of dumping them so that there will be minimal product
wastage, better management of resources, and a greater growth of
society.
Hobeei facilitates free recycling of products with the help of an in-built bidding system. It helps users to create colonies, join colonies of other people, list products for sale, create product lists, explore various products, and a lot more. Users can also place bids on products they wish or want to purchase. To do this, users need online credits and tokens called Buzzes (BZS). It’s a type of virtual currency that can be purchased using real money and with online payments. You can also use tokens to get items! See how to earn BZS. Upon Sign up, a user gets 1,500 BZS for free and bid for items you need from others! The highest buzzer wins and you get your BZS back when you don't win!

items that others hoard and people who are tired of seeing items disposed of that
could have been fixed and reused by others. To the team, it is a process and solution of resource redistribution. They also believe that Hobeei's duty is to solve the inequality gap using waste.
The Freecycle Revolution happens when People need what others no longer use. Hobeei stands to bridge the gap by connecting both ends. One way through which they do this is through its sharing economy which helps users to share items you no longer need with others and get better things you need in return!
