GreenSwap

The Heart of GreenSwap

Every household holds things it no longer needs, and somewhere nearby is someone who would treasure them. GreenSwap closes that distance.

The problem

• The world generates 9 billion tons of waste per year.
• Most of it ends up in landfills — adding to pollution, wasting resources, and hurting our planet.
• And yet our homes are full of perfectly useful items just collecting dust.

What GreenSwap does

GreenSwap is a community-powered swap network. In a few taps you can post what you no longer need, discover what your neighbors are offering, and trade — for free.

• 🆓 Completely free to join. No fees, no auctions, no checkout.
• 🔒 Safe, trusted trading. Light-touch reputation signals reward generosity and follow-through.
• 🌍 Real environmental impact. Every successful swap is one less new thing produced, packaged, and shipped.

Measured in human and planetary outcomes

GreenSwap gamifies the right thing — sustainability — with three simple counters that travel with you:

• 🌱 CO₂ Saved — the cumulative kilograms of CO₂ kept out of the atmosphere by your trades.
• 💰 GreenCoins — earned for every good-faith trade you complete.
• 🏆 Achievements — milestones that celebrate consistent, generous trading.

Every trade makes a difference.

Why this product is Crafted for Human™

GreenSwap embodies the principles we apply to every Code From Home engagement:

• Privacy by default — just enough location to be useful, nothing more.
• Accessible to anyone with a phone — runs as a Progressive Web App, no app store required.
• Designed for the planet first — success is measured in waste avoided, not engagement minutes captured.
• Dignified by design — neighbors meet neighbors; the platform introduces them and then steps out of the way.

Get involved

Whether you're an individual ready to start trading, a school or community organization looking to host a GreenSwap circle, or a sustainability program seeking a technology partner — we'd love to hear from you.
