The rainy season is coming. I believe everyone has the same experience. When we went out in the morning, the sun was shining brightly, but it suddenly started to rain before noon. In the rainy season, there are often intermittent convective rains. We who went out without umbrellas Trapped in a dilemma on the road, you can only go to the convenience store to buy a small transparent umbrella first, and these "disposable umbrellas" often cause environmental burden and unnecessary waste.




According to the statistics of "Fun Umbrella" , 28,000 transparent umbrellas can be sold in a single rain in Taiwan, and these plastic umbrellas that are discarded at will, continue to pollute the land in every inconvenience.




The era of sharing economy is coming


With the rise of environmental awareness in recent years, in order to improve air and environmental pollution, the concept of "sharing economy" has also emerged.




The sharing economy is a social operation mode in which human resources are shared. It includes the sharing of the creation, production, distribution, transaction and consumption of goods and services by different individuals and organizations.

The sharing economy model is gradually implemented in all walks of life. Common forms include shared car (iRent), shared bicycle (Youbike), shared locomotive (GoShare), and shared charging treasure.






In addition to ordinary traffic sharing, "umbrella sharing" services are also on the way.

The Japanese company Nature Innovation Group launched the shared umbrella iKasa as early as the end of 2018 

From the consumer's point of view, renting an umbrella does not require cumbersome payment and verification processes. Just scan the QR code to obtain the umbrella's unlock password, which is environmentally friendly and very convenient.

There are also operators in Taiwan who have launched the "Fun Umbrella - Shared Umbrella" service. At present, more than 300 umbrella rental locations have been set up in Taiwan, providing more than 1,000 shared umbrellas, mainly in MRT stations and along the stores, gyms, long-term photos Institutions, restaurants, etc., can be returned to the adjacent base after use (A place and a second return), and the fee will be charged per time, 20 yuan per time, and the first 3 times of use by ordinary members are free.

experience


This is the first time I use Shared Umbrella . I think this service is very convenient. When I was working in Taipei, I often encountered a sudden heavy rain outside. At that time, I was in a dilemma at the exit of the MRT station. I had no choice but to go to the convenience store at the station to buy a transparent plastic umbrella for emergency use. Under the heavy rain and strong wind, the disposable transparent plastic umbrella quickly broke down, and it also caused environmental pollution unintentionally. I am very concerned about it. Happy to see the situation.

The " 
Shared Umbrella " service uses a more convenient sharing method to achieve a plastic-reduced life, and it can be returned to another location without regional restrictions. I think this is very convenient, but when looking for a shared umbrella rental point, because it is very convenient It is inconspicuous, so I will accidentally ignore its existence. I hope it can be more obvious and clear on the sign " of the rental point . I believe it will be more widely used in the future.
