Mission Overview:

⭐️

Circular neighborhoods and sustainable consumption

There are also many opportunities for a circular economy in our neighborhoods. According to the principles of the R-ladder, we will ensure that raw materials, components, and products lose their value as little as possible and that we focus on as much reuse and sharing concepts as possible.

Encouraging all entrepreneurs, partners, and residents to think differently about waste and reuse.
Facilitating a circular economy in neighborhood/community centers (repair café, flea market, clothing market, tool lending, junk troopers, scavengers, craft houses).
Stimulating the use of locally produced food. Creating demand and supply.
Reward sustainable behavior, beneficial financing.

instead of collecting bulky waste in neighborhoods, a recycling center that picks up items periodically in neighborhoods

(bike) repairs cheaper, more attractive than new

Wide availability of shared cars

Tool depot: Where you can borrow when you need something. Community center with interaction.

No advertisements

Fashion show in the city with second-hand clothing

Reducing consumption!

Mandatory submission of usable items/devices for repair or recycling.

Building houses circularly (also less strict regarding building permits)

Bicycle library like in Ghent

Share boxes are normal and everyone is responsible. They are visible and transparent.

The value of "stuff" - passing on costs - making it clear (We have little awareness of it)

Do more with timber construction.

How can you get help to pick up items from Marktplaats?

More points to fill sustainable pots, etc., without it being extra expensive.

Place in every neighborhood where you can leave usable items that you no longer use.

distributing repair & reuse coupons

Stimulate repair shops. Provide space.

Community battery easier to implement

Reuse products from the circular economy and create a new product from them.

Collection containers/locations (just like for textiles/clothing) for, for example, still functioning electronics.

Neighborhood platform to share items (similar to a marketplace)

Offering shared use to your neighbors.

Community chickens

High tax on bad products
