Description

Tallinn Waste Plan foresees combining reuse and repair rooms with every present civic amenity site. In this project 2 reuse rooms (people can give/take re-usable goods for free) and 4 repair workshops (to mend different items, eg. furniture, textile, wood items, bicycles) will be created. The reuse and repair rooms are targeted to different age groups from kindergarten kids to eldery. The creation of Reuse and Repair Centres will enliven the local community life and give residents the opportunity to develop and practice the circular economy themselves. As a result of this project the number of reused items is increased and the amount of waste generated is reduced.
