What does it mean when we say we want to inspire and enable the many people to live a more sustainable life? Among other things, it means to make it easy for everyone to do their part creating a better planet. One way to do it is to provide the communities of our meeting places with spaces that offer many ideas, products, tools, and services that help them reduce their impact on our environment. Just like Circuit.
As the name hints, Circuit is a curated space for goods and services related to the circular economy, inspiring visitors to repair, reuse, and recycle everyday items. They can also rent products, and get help to re-use, repair and recycle items – finding any and all opportunities to eliminate wastefulness. We opened the very first Circuit in our Birsta City meeting place in Sundsvall (Sweden) in early June 2022.
Let us take you for a tour! As you enter, you’re met by our welcome desk where our co-workers will answer all the questions about the space. You can then visit the lounge area, or bring your items to the community Swap Shop. Make sure to also pay a visit to our innovative partners that make circular living truly enjoyable. These include a Repair Station staffed by community-led businesses skilled at repairing or personalising your existing belongings, and leading circular retailers like AB Småland. Hyber, who offers rental and subscription services for children’s wear and equipment. You can also spend some time browsing around the vintage and second-hand stalls in the Loppis area, our own contemporary twist on the traditional flea market. And if you want to learn more about how to make circularity an integral part of your everyday life, the welcome hub offers a lively agenda of workshops and activities where you can meet experts who are happy to share their knowledge on how to better care for and extend the life of your things.
In these challenging times, nothing is more important than the health and well-being of our co-workers, partners, and customers. That's why we are closely following the advice of authorities and healthcare organizations in all our markets to help minimize the spread of COVID-19. We believe that by working together and supporting each other we will come through this as a stronger community.
We are all looking forward to a safe future.
