Repair & ReuseMunich

Hofflohmärkte, neighbourhood courtyard flea markets

Browse linked tour plans through your Viertel Hofflohmärkte is a Germany-wide reuse programme: residents register a private courtyard, garden, or garage and sell pre-loved goods while neighbours follow a linked tour plan through the district. The platform runs in 30+ cities and 300+ neighbourhoods; initiator René Götz operates registration, participants organise their own courtyards. What you can do - Download the tour plan PDF for your Viertel (published about one week before each market day) - Walk the linked addresses and buy second-hand treasures from neighbours - Register your own Hof if you have landlord approval and goods to pass on How it works - Sales stay on private ground only, not sidewalks or public space - Typical hours: Saturdays 10–16, Sundays 11–16 (Munich also runs selected Friday evenings with M-net sponsorship) - No food sales; private sellers only, professional dealers are not welcome - Registration closes three weeks before each date for tour-plan marking; late sign-ups are accepted but may not appear on the map - Organisers may cancel a date if fewer than 30 courtyards register, fees are then refunded About Hofflohmärkte Neighbours register a private Hof, Garten, or Garage on Hofflohmärkte and sell used goods on scheduled Viertel days. Registered addresses appear on a tour plan published about one week before each date. Sales happen on private ground only. See city pages for local schedules and Spielregeln & Tipps for seller rules. Why it matters Every item re-homed from a courtyard is one less thing bought new or landfilled, and a chance to meet the people who live behind the front doors.

Make and mend at Makerspace Gohlis

Selbermachen statt neu kaufen The Makerspace in Gohlis is a shared workshop in a former car dealership where Leipzig residents turn ideas into objects: with tools, machines, and neighbours who enjoy teaching. What is on offer - 3D printing, wood and textile work, ceramics, photo lab, welding, and more. - Workshops and courses to learn techniques and meet other makers. - Priority on reused and surplus materials; new purchases only when necessary. Open hours - Tue-Fri 17:00-22:00; Sat 10:00-16:00 - Lindenthaler Str. 61-65, 04157 Leipzig Why it matters When households share heavy tools and skills, fewer rarely used machines are bought and discarded: repair and making stay local and joyful.

Allerlei to go: reusable takeaway in Leipzig

Mehrweg statt Einweg beim Mitnehmen When hunger strikes on the go, single-use cups and boxes still dominate: yet one reusable cup can replace hundreds of disposables over its lifetime. Since January 2023, food businesses in Germany must fill customer-owned containers; larger venues often run deposit return systems. What the project does - Together with BUND Leipzig, Stadtreinigung supports cafés and food shops in the city centre, Georg-Schumann-Straße, and Mockau to set up reusable systems. - Customer awareness campaigns and a prize scheme highlight standout Mehrweg pilots. - Builds on Leipzig’s Zero-Waste strategy and the federal “Zukunftsfähige Innenstädte” programme. How you can act today - Bring a thermos mug and lunch box; ask venues to fill them. - Choose partners that display Mehrweg options; nominate engaged businesses for recognition. Why it matters Reusable takeaway cuts single-use mountains in busy shopping streets, one cup can replace hundreds of disposables.

Visit Konzeptladen „Wiederschön“

Leipzig’s circular department store pilot Stadtreinigung Leipzig and partners are building „Wiederschön“: a hub where reuse, workshops, and education meet shopping. The first Konzeptladen opened in May 2024 in the Höfe am Brühl as a stepping stone toward a larger second-life Kaufhaus. What you will find - Upcycled furniture, products from rescued polymers (3D-printed), tool-lending boxes, jewellery upcycling, and a growing shoe-repair corner - Events and repair workshops on circular living - Space for makers, craftspeople, and associations (funded pilot with reduced rent for partners) Visit - Konzeptladen Wiederschön, Höfe am Brühl, 1st floor (near Müller), Leipzig city centre - Full Kaufhaus location still in planning for Innenstadt, Mockau, or Georg-Schumann-Straße Why it matters A visible reuse shop normalises second-life shopping and gives makers a downtown stage for circular skills.

Support recycler cooperatives managing organics in Buenos Aires

Segregation at source: cooperatives in charge Argentina’s FACCyR-linked recycler groups manage organic streams where source segregation is in place, a pattern the 2025 regional report pairs with Colombian ANR experiences. Cooperatives such as El Amanecer de los Cartoneros in Villa Fiorito show how sorted organics and recyclables can stay in community hands. What you can do - Sort organics and clean recyclables before cooperative pick-up on your block. - Connect your barrio association with a registered cartonero/a cooperative for collection routes. Why it matters Recycler-led organics management turns a climate liability into local jobs and compost, without shipping waste out of sight.

Zagreb Plastic Prevention Plan: ban single-use, refill the city

From city buildings to hospitality venues Zagreb adopted a Plastic Prevention Plan as part of the ERIC project: one of the most comprehensive municipal plastic policies in the Western Balkans region. The plan bans single-use plastics across all city-owned buildings and institutions and combines that with public infrastructure to make reuse the easy default. Measures already running - New and repaired public drinking-water fountains installed across the city to cut single-use plastic bottle purchases - Single-use plastic items removed from select city-organised events - Support for hospitality businesses switching to reusable packaging What you can do - Use the public refill fountains instead of buying bottled water - Ask event organisers in Zagreb whether the venue is single-use-plastic-free - Talk to your neighbourhood association about advocating for more refill points in your district Why it matters Policy without infrastructure fails. Zagreb pairs the ban with visible reuse alternatives: showing that a city of almost one million can shift habits at scale.

Manj je več: Slovenia's Less is More reuse portal

Digital platform making reuse easier for everyone Manj je več ("Less is More") is a national digital platform by EBM that helps individuals in Slovenia find practical reuse options: repair services, swap events, sharing networks, and zero-waste shops - all in one place. An updated version is planned for 2025 to make the portal more user-friendly and to add guidance for event organisers implementing reusable tableware. What you can find on the portal - Local repair and upcycling workshops - Reuse and sharing initiatives by region - Tools and guides for reducing single-use items at home and events How to get involved - Use the portal to find reuse options near you: manjjevec.si - If you run a repair or reuse initiative, contact EBM to be listed on the platform Why it matters Behaviour change needs infrastructure and information. Manj je več makes the reuse ecosystem visible and navigable: reducing the friction between intention and action.

Bled STICT: circular textile challenge with international experts

Tackling tourism's textile footprint Under the EU STICT (Sustainable Textiles In Circular Tourism) project, EBM partnered with the municipality of Bled and international sustainability experts to explore solutions for the environmental and economic impacts of textiles in a tourism-heavy destination. The initiative investigates sustainable sourcing, collection, and reuse of textiles across hotels, venues, and local businesses in the Bled area. What the project explores - Environmental footprint of hotel linen and event textiles - Collection and redistribution systems for reusable or recyclable textiles - Policy levers municipalities can use to shift procurement How to engage - Follow EBM for workshops and findings as the STICT project publishes results - If you manage a venue near Bled, ask EBM about participation in the textile audit pilot Why it matters Tourism destinations generate disproportionate textile waste. Bled's participation in STICT means findings apply directly to one of Slovenia's most visited areas: making lessons replicable for every European resort town.
