Arroios invests in urban furniture that reuses rainwater
The innovative furniture installed in Arroios, Lisbon, allows the collection of about 4 thousand liters of water, which will be used in periods of drought.
Through repair and reuse, the mall takes items handed in by people and gives them a new life.
It is in Sweden that we find ReTuna, a shopping mall that offers a new and sustainable shopping experience, combining several stores from second-hand products in one place. The offer is wide, from sporting goods, clothes and toys to computers and furniture.
Located in Eskilstuna, the space opened its doors in 2015 and has 14 stores selling second-hand, recycled, reinvented through upcycling or sustainably or organically produced products.
The mall is located next to the city’s recycling center (Returen), where people can drop off products they no longer want. These are then analyzed and distributed to the shopping center’s stores, where the retailers themselves repair, reuse, or simply sell the materials.
There is also a cafe with organic food and a conference room intended for climate meetings. In addition, the mall hosts a design school, in which students learn how to upcycling, and organizes events, workshops, repair workshops, lectures, and theme days, with the goal of being more than a marketplace and having an educational role in society.
