🌍 The 6th of April marks Sweden’s Overshoot Day 2021. https://www.overshootday.org/
We want to #MoveTheDate and envision a future of circular economy and circular consumption, rather than the mainstream, wasteful and unsustainable linear path.
♻️ In this meeting “Recycling in Stockholm - how it works and best practices” we want to talk about one of Zero Waste’s 5 Rs: RECYCLING. More specifically about recycling in Stockholm.
Even if it should only be considered as a last resort (when there are no other alternatives for re-use or repair) recycling is still an important component of a circular economy, which emphasises on extracting less resources while effectively reusing existing materials. Reason why it is essential to know how to recycle correctly and accordingly to our city rules and capabilities.
🤷♂️ If like us, you also find yourself wondering in which recycling bin to throw your tea bag, chips bag, envelope, tablets blister, bamboo toothbrush, ... and if you want to learn more about Stockholm’s recycling system, this event is for you!
▶︎ SPECIAL GUEST
👉 We are very excited to welcome a special guest for this meetup: Veronica Foberg Gustafsson, communication manager of FTI.
FTI, Förpacknings- och Tidningsinsamlingen is the provider of around 5000 public and 2 million households recycling stations all over Sweden. You have most probably seen their big green containers at your recycling station.
👏 Don’t miss this great opportunity to listen to an expert in the field and to ask your questions in the following Q&A! 🙋🏻♀️
