At Hobbyhop, we believe in creating a world where enjoying your hobbies doesn’t come at the cost of our planet. By connecting enthusiasts to share hobby equipment, we’re fostering a sustainable community that minimizes waste, reduces overproduction, and promotes a circular economy. On average, every shared item reduces an estimated 30 kg of CO₂ emissions.
That’s equivalent to:
Avoiding driving a gasoline-powered car for approximately 75 miles (120 km).
(Assumes an average car emits ~0.4 kg CO₂ per mile.)
Saving about 105 kWh of electricity in Canada
(Based on an average emission factor of 0.283 kg CO₂ per kWh.)
Skipping a short domestic flight of 100 miles (161 km) for one passenger.
(Assuming ~0.3 kg CO₂ per mile per passenger.)
The amount of CO₂ absorbed by a mature tree over approximately 3 months.
(A single tree absorbs ~10 kg CO₂ per year.)
Avoiding the production of around 1,200 plastic bottles (500 mL size).
(Each bottle accounts for ~0.025 kg CO₂.)
Replacing 7.5 kilograms (16.5 lbs) of beef with plant-based alternatives.
(Beef production emits ~4 kg CO₂ per kilogram of meat.)

"Discovering Hobbyhop has been a game-changer for me. I love camping, biking & kayaking, but I always felt guilty about the environmental impact of buying new gear that I’d only use a few times a year. Through this platform, I’ve been able to borrow top-quality equipment from local enthusiasts. Not only am I saving money, but I'm also lowering my own carbon footprint and keeping unnecessary waste out of landfills."
"As a serial hobbyist, I've always like to try new hobbies (skating, surfing, gaming...). I often end up having many equipment lying around my apartment and collect dust. Thanks to Hobbyhop, I'm able to turn my hobbies into a profitable side hustle while making a meaningful impact in my community"
"Changing hockey/ski gear or trying new hobbies with my kids as they grow up costs a lot. I love how Hobbyhop helps parents like me spend quality time with their kids without worrying about the cost"
"When I moved to Canada, I couldn't bring my guitar with me. I stopped playing because of that. Buying a new instrument is just too expensive. I'm glad a platform like Hobbyhop exist. It helps newcomers like me continue to do the things we love and make new friends in the new city"
