Circular malls and reuse shops are places, physical or digital, that highlight different circular concepts such as second hand, vintage, remake, repair, rental services, refurbished technology and waste- and resource-smart products.
We face a major challenge together, to reduce our emissions to create a better climate and a better environment for all of us. In Karlstad Municipality, we do it together, with all the ability and power to contribute, so that every step counts. Both individually and together.
Karlstad, Klimatkommunerna and the Swedish Taxi Association are collaborating on Tjänsteskjuts, an alternative to the number of company vehicles owned or leased by the municipality. The new solution can both save money and have environmental benefits, reduce traffic, pollution, noise and parking in the city and make working life more efficient and create new jobs, especially for people who are currently far from the labor market.
In Karlstad, different parts of the paper industry are working together to recycle both materials and energy with the support of the Paper Province cluster.
Twice a year, Karlstad holds its Second Hand round, when several shops selling second hand and antiques are open for visitors to discover the city's wide and exciting range.
Nature is a good example of a circular system, nothing becomes trash that needs to be disposed of, everything is recreated into something new. To keep the global temperature rise below 1.5 degrees, we need to find circular systems for the resources we use. During Climate Breakfast 21, we went from broad brushstrokes in the EU to local initiatives in Karlstad. How can the circular economy contribute more to the climate transition?
