UniNest — Your Study-Abroad Home Companion

Student Circular Exchange

UniNest is a student-centered second-hand furniture platform that helps international students buy and sell furniture quickly, safely, and sustainably. It solves key challenges like frequent moves, language barriers, and unreliable marketplace experiences, while promoting circular economy values in a city that discards over 48,000 tons of furniture annually. Every transaction reduces waste, extends the life of furniture, and contributes to our partnered Community Tree Nursery in Morocco—supporting reforestation and local job growth. With UniNest, every simple trade becomes a meaningful step toward a greener world.
