Thomas Koell – Les Biens en Commun : Sharing to change the way we consume

Who never cracked on a brand-new drill, only to stash it away in a closet after just two or three uses? Or invested in a high-tech kitchen robot that ends up collecting dust on a shelf?

Buying equipment when you need it is a natural reflex — but is it really the best solution?

In this episode of On The Way, we welcome Thomas Koell, co-founder of Les Biens en Commun, an innovative service that’s revolutionizing the way we access everyday equipment through rentals. Together with his business partner, he came up with a more affordable, practical, and sustainable alternative: simplified rental via smart lockers. This system allows anyone to easily and quickly pick up quality equipment near their home with just a few clicks.

Thomas shares his journey, driven by a desire to launch a project with real impact, how he managed to convince major brands to join the movement, and why rethinking our relationship with ownership might just be a game changer.

An inspiring episode that makes you want to consume differently!
