Programme nearbyRepair & ReuseKielPack Kita wet clothes in WechselbüddelWashable bags beat single-use plastic After a pilot, Kiel equipped about 55 Kitas with Wechselbüddel: waterproof, washable bags for muddy or wet children’s clothes instead of disposable plastic sacks. What you can do - Ask your Kita whether Wechselbüddel are in use; wash and return bags the same day when possible. - Replicate the pattern at home for swimming or forest days. Why it matters Daily Kita handovers add up; a durable bag removes thousands of plastic sacks per year across the city. Wechselbüddelchildcarereusefamily
Programme nearbyRepair & ReuseKielTry cloth nappies: a proven Kiel pilot patternSauber gewickelt: weniger Restabfall A child uses roughly 6,000 disposable nappies before potty training, about one tonne of waste. From 2022-2024 Kiel subsidised cloth nappy starter kits (up to €200); 496 households joined and saved an estimated 80 tonnes of residual waste per year. Why it matters The Kiel pilot showed hundreds of families can divert tonnes of nappy waste when cloth is affordable and supported.familyreuseadvocacy
