Vienna Climate Tour 2025: Together for a city without waste!

Percostraße 2, 1220 Wien, Österreich - The Viennese climate tour 2025 started on March 24, 2025 under the motto "circular economy". With a solemn start at the 48-seater in the Donaustadt, under the direction of climate city council Jürgen Czernohorszky, the initiative aims to promote the appreciation of everyday objects and avoid disposable products. The tour is part of a broader strategy of the City of Vienna for sustainable development and environmentally conscious way of life.

The Tandler locations in Donaustadt and Margareten serve as the forwarding models of the circular economy. These facilities are central hubs for old goods, with three trucks being outdated every day to collect, sort and prepare functional old goods. Tandler II in Percostraße 2, which offers tested electrical appliances, clothing, books, dishes, LPs, CDs and musical instruments, is particularly noteworthy. While electrical appliances are sold with one year of warranty after a technical check, the entire tour is accompanied by a strong focus on e-mobility and environmentally friendly materials.

thematic focus of the tour

The Viennese climate tour will drive through various districts with a fleet of eight e-cargo bikes and provide extensive information about recycling, repair and sustainable consumption. This initiative supports the goals of the city to reduce energy consumption per capita from 2005 to 2023 by 33.7 percent. The tour will stop at public places, parks and various events and numerous citizens: reach inside.

In addition, the Viennese climate schedule will lead through the event as a red thread to underline the long -term goals of the city.

European strategy for circular economy

The Viennese climate tour takes place in the context of wider European efforts to establish a sustainable circular economy. According to the Europarl , an agreement was made to update the EU consumer regulations in January 2024. This aims to strengthen consumer rights and reduce the consumption of critical raw materials. An important aspect of these new rules is to combat the planned obsolescence and promote the durability and repair of products, which could also support the transition to more sustainable consumption behavior.

In December 2023, a law on critical raw materials was also passed that aims to reduce the dependence of the EU on certain third countries and to promote the recycling of critical raw materials.

The Viennese climate tour 2025 and the EU initiatives clearly show that a rethink in the direction of the circular economy is necessary to achieve ecological and economic goals. Further information on the tour is available on the website of the City of Vienna.
