Johann Jenson on Subscription model and circular economy in the Tech World.
Johann Jenson, CPO of Grover, shared with us insights about the Product Subscription Model and all challenges related to it and how important is this concept for the circular economy.
We've heard about upcoming new offers from Grover about the company's organizational structure and the most important what is "Alignment Nirvana" and how to reach it.
Grover is a tech subscription service delivering circular retail and finance expertise to redefine consumption and add flexibility and circularity to the wasteful tech industry. Grover is working towards Goal 12 — ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns. By renting consumer tech products, they maximize the useful life of tech and improve durability and support the right to repair. This is why they are building a circular model at scale, and here are some metrics that are important for Grover's sustainability outcomes:
🟢E-waste savings with Grover's reach rental model sum up to 360 metric tons to date (this is equal to 15 truckloads of consumer tech devices).
🟢CO2 savings with Grover's reach rental model sum up 4.275 metric tons to date (this is like 900 cars driving for a year).
🟢Each device rented with Grover saves 5.2 devices in the traditional linear consumption model.
