Interesting, exciting and rewarding activities for the project partners of the pilot area in Borås during their field visit in Stockholm.
The purpose was to benchmark and find out which factions/stations Sörab feels are in demand by the residents and how many visitors the operation is adapted for. The visit started with a steering group meeting at AB STURES ÅKERI and then continued with an inspiring study visit to Returpunkt Sundbyberg and Returpunkt Solna, operated by Söderhalls Renhållningsverk AB (SÖRAB). These are neighborhood-based facilities for reuse and the collection of small bulky waste and hazardous waste. Their vision is "Close to you - it should be easy to do the right thing!" It is impressive to accommodate 18 fractions/stations within Recycling, Reuse, Repair & Patch.
The group also listened to experiences in terms of opening hours, lessons and challenges to see which groups/stations they could integrate when setting up their planned centre
