The cannot lose
The too expensive to lose
That favourite jacket
Those things you've lost before
Everyone hates losing stuff, but it happens a lot
- £258k of items are lost every hour on UK public transport alone. Just 9% of clothes are returned.
- 7.9 billion items are misplaced each year in the UK.
- Remember that water bottle, jacket, wallet, bag, or that time you saw a lost property pile at school, the sports club or airport? Items sit in lost property for 6-12 months and then go in the bin!
Losing items costs everyone money, but there's also an environmental impact. This is why Boomerang® started.
- The effectiveness of sustainable/ reusable products depends on how many times they are used.
- A metal water bottle saves plastic but must be used 500 times to offset the CO2 emitted during production vs a plastic water bottle.
Most frequently asked questions
Absolutely! Every single one. A box of 27 Tags is 27 different QR codes, which means you know exactly what item goes missing, can rehome any item with the new owner not needing a new BoomerangTag®, and can share a box between multiple people. Total control and flexibility.
By default, the finder sees the product name and product photo. You can choose to show information (name, email, phone number) or a custom note, but you don't need to show anything.
If you have not left a note or details, they receive clear instructions on how to leave you a note to start the return process. Everything is built on security first.
And, your passport can have very different settings to your water bottle or your jumper.
No, it does not. Much safer as a result, 44% of stalking incidents use location tracking. It is also why they are waterproof and The Iron-On can go through the wash. And why it doesn't require batteries and drain your phone battery.
No, save that memory in your phone! Finders and owners manage everything through the website app.
No, we hate subscriptions too. The codes come with lifetime subscription.
The easiest sign up there is. Email and away you go. We would skip the email, but need it so we can notify you about any lost items!
We almost always lose our stuff in places where people want to return the item: the gym, office, school, university, restaurants, taxi's, cafe's, airports, train stations. None of these places want to keep hold of your stuff, they'd much rather you come back as a happy friend & customer, just currently there is no easy way for them to return an item to you.
Outside of these places, say at a random park, the kindness economy truly exists and the high majority of people look to return items if possible. A BoomerangTag® makes a previously impossible return, possible.
