Rentoid blog

We’ve recently been talking about Australian current affair TV show called the Hungry Beast. W think it is clearly the best show on television. The good news for those who haven’t seen it is that every episode is available via the ABC iView channel on the web.

Last week they ran an entire episode about “waste”. Which was very interesting and at times even disgusting. It’s a topic close to our hearts here at rentoid as we very much encourage a better utlisation of resources via renting (the worlds oldest commercial form of effective asset management)

Here’s a little clip they did on bottled water…. an old enemy of ours, especially in a country like Australia where what comes out of the tap ‘for free’ is as good as it gets.

This week rentoid and our CEE Steve Sammartino featured on the ABC 7.30 report. The key area for discussion was the fact that rentoid (proudly we might add) employs staff from around the world in developing markets. before you watch the segment here’s some information worth knowing about employing people in developing markets:

- Our employees earn significantly more than they would doing the same work in their home country

- Our business would not exist without them. It has enabled an entrepreneur to build rentoid.com which is creating value and generating money in the local economy.

- We are proud to help people in developing markets via being part of building infrastructure. We know this is far more productive way to improve living standards globally than providing charity.
