Stefan Tidow, Staatssekretär für Umwelt und Klimaschutz, hat am 9. September 2020 mit dem B-Wa(h)renhaus den ersten Re-Use Store für Gebrauchtwaren in einem Berliner Kaufhaus eröffnet. Ein halbes Jahr lang werden gut erhaltene Gebrauchtwaren im 3. Stock bei Karstadt am Herrmannplatz angeboten.
Die NochMall ist das erste Kaufhaus für Gebrauchtwaren in Berlin, was viel mehr ist als ein Secondhand-Kaufhaus. In der NochMall werden nicht nur Möbel, Kleidung, Elektrogeräte, Haushaltswaren, Spielzeug, Bücher und vieles mehr auf über 2.000 Quadratmeter verkauft, um ihnen ein zweites Leben zu geben, sondern die NochMall wird ein Erlebnisort für Kreislaufwirtschaft und Abfallvermeidung.
Amid growing concerns over global warming, plastic in our oceans and the problems of electronic waste, there are some developing solutions. In Finland Kierrätyskeskus (re-use centres) have been going since the early 1990s. Owned by the city council, but run independently, there are now eight shops in and around Helsinki offering second-hand, repaired and upcycled items. Everything is donated by the public, via drop off centres, or at the shops or via home collection. All profit is used to improve local environmental and waste services.
The Scottish Men’s Sheds Association’s sole focus is supporting Scotland’s Shedders and their supporters to create Men’s Sheds in their community across Scotland. If you need help, inspiration or just a chat, you have come to the right place.
When I walk, I get inspired by the things that I find in the street. So I’m just walking and collecting. I don’t have high-class friends. Because people know me as the person who just collects things on the street. People feel ashamed when they are with me. When you collect in the street, you look like a street boy or madman.
The Brighton Waste House is the first permanent building in the UK to be constructed from waste, surplus material and discarded plastic gathered from the construction industry, other industries and our homes. The idea, developed with Cat Fletcher of FREEGLE UK, is to test the performance of these undervalued resources over the next few years; the Faculty of Science & Engineering have put sensors in the external walls to monitor their performance.
Tens of thousands of people live in Zabbaleen, on the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt, they all make a living out of recycling the entire capital city’s refuse. Their whole town is practically a giant dump and it provides them with almost everything they need: from kids’ toys to fodder for livestock. Even their pigs play an important part in recycling food waste. Most important of all though, the dump provides livelihoods for the people of Zabbaleen.
Every one of the rubbish collectors plays their own part, gathering, transporting or sorting the rubbish. Collectively, everyone in the community performs a highly efficient job of recycling Cairo’s refuse. This allows the trash town to be self-sufficient and largely independent from the rest of the city. The place has its own rules, everyone is allocated their own patch of Cairo, no one would think of collecting from someone else’s area. Zabbaleen even has an unofficial mayor.
Trash town has its own shops, cafes and a local school for the children. Of course it’s every Zabbaleen parent’s dream for their child to get a good education so they can build a better life elsewhere. More commonly though, the kids start working on the dump at a young age and follow in their parents’ footsteps to become rubbish collectors as well. The people of Zabbaleen do wish their lives weren’t as hard but feel no shame in their occupation. They see their work as socially important and pride themselves in providing for their families. After all, it’s a dirty job but someone has to do it.

On January 10, 1942, the US Office of Production Management sent pledge cards to retail stores asking them to participate in the effort by saving things like waste paper, scrap metal, old rags, and rubber.[2] Later that month, the Bureau of Industrial Conservation of the War Production Board asked all American mayors to salvage the same kinds of materials from municipal dumps and incinerators.[3]

In Japan, kintsugi is the ancient art of repairing what has been broken. Fragments of a dropped ceramic bowl are scooped up and put back together; mended using lacquer dusted with powdered gold that leaves the repair visible. The revitalised ceramic becomes a symbol of fragility, strength and beauty.
Circular economy concepts are giving new hope to our planet which is littered with post-consumer waste – all manner of plastics, PET bottles, textiles and countless other materials which are the byproducts of excessive consumption.
Deko Eko wants to contribute to this significant change by accelerating the development of a circular economy marketplace. We propose an innovative upcycling platform which will completely change the way you think about waste. We turn waste into profit by facilitating the highest possible jump in value – from zero to a market-ready product.

Il progetto LIFE+ LOWaste ha sperimentato a Ferrara un modello di economia circolare basata sulla prevenzione, il riuso e il riciclo dei rifiuti in una logica di partnership pubblico-privato. Partendo da alcune sperimentazioni pilota ha creato le basi per la nascita di un vero e proprio distretto locale di economia verde circolare. Distretto formato da operatori dei rifiuti, piccole piattaforme di recupero, artigiani e PMI impegnati nella valorizzazione delle materie e nella produzione di riprodotti.

MIDDLEBURY — Author Adam Minter will travel a thousand miles for a good recycling story. And for his latest book, Minter racked up significant frequent-flyer miles from Middlebury to China and ports in between, in his effort to shine a light on worldwide efforts to extend the life of our prized possessions and thus stem the tide of waste into landfills.
The municipality opened its own Reuse Centre in the village of Lammari in 2011, where items such as clothes, footwear, toys, electrical appliances and furniture that are no longer needed but still in good condition can be repaired where necessary and sold to those in need, thereby diverting them from landfill and serving a vital social function.
