What is Joove?
Joove is Australia's fastest-growing community marketplace, designed to give pre-loved items a second life. Our mission is simple yet powerful: reduce waste and connect donors with collectors, facilitating the reuse of goods in an intuitive and accessible way.
We were born out of the need to offer a more efficient and responsible alternative to traditional donation practices in Australia, where usable items often end up exposed on sidewalks, deteriorating and causing visual pollution while waiting to be picked up by someone or, eventually, by the trash service.
Mission and Vision
The Problem We Solve
Each year, millions of usable items end up in landfills. The common practice in Australia of leaving unwanted goods on sidewalks, despite initial good intentions, often results in these items being damaged by the weather, creating visual pollution, and ultimately ending up in the trash if not quickly picked up.
Finding a new home for unwanted goods can be complicated, and discovering free items nearby often depends on chance or disorganized social media groups. Joove offers a dedicated, simple, and real-time solution to this problem, directly connecting those with something to give with those who need it, before items reach the sidewalk or the landfill.
