The Project
Public Goods is a platform where poverty meets plenty.
We are committed to finding a better home for things that are underutilized due to overconsumption.
Mission
At Public Goods, we aim to transform overconsumption into opportunity by redistributing gently used items to those in need. Based in Hong Kong, with plans for global expansion, we focus on connecting communities through the donation of toys, clothing, and gadgets.
Our mission is to bridge the gap between poverty and plenty, creating a sustainable cycle of giving and reuse. We strive to reduce waste and promote responsible consumption, addressing the staggering 92 million tons of textile waste generated annually worldwide and the estimated 50 million tons of e-waste produced each year.
By fostering a culture of generosity, we envision a world where every item finds a new purpose, and every person has access to quality goods. Join us in making a tangible impact, reducing waste, and building a more equitable and sustainable future for all.
Vision
We envision a world where excess transforms into opportunity, fostering communities united by compassion and sustainability. Our goal is to create a global network where gently used items like toys, clothing, and gadgets find new life with those in need, reducing waste and promoting responsible consumption.
Through innovation and collaboration, we aim to inspire a movement that turns overconsumption into a force for good. By building partnerships and raising awareness, we strive to ensure that every item serves a purpose and every person has access to quality goods, we can create a future characterized by equity, environmental stewardship, and a shared commitment to a more sustainable and inclusive world.
