Sustainability and social responsibility: new second-hand shop in Knittelfeld

The idea of ​​sustainability is becoming increasingly important in today's society, and this is exactly where the new second-hand shop of youth starts at the work in Knittelfeld. At the main square of Knittelfeld, the re-use shop shines in a fresh shine and offers a variety of used but high quality products that come from clearing out. The opening of this shop is an important step to protect resources and at the same time support social projects.

On an area of ​​around 80 square meters, visitors will find an exciting selection of different articles that are offered at affordable prices. The initiative not only puts the thought of the discounted shopping in the foreground, but also raises awareness of sustainable consumption. The shop is not only a place for shopping, but also an important contribution to reducing waste in the region.

A look behind the scenes of the Re-Use shop

Elke Steiner-Veit, the project team leader, emphasizes: "We bring high-quality products out of clearing out in the circulation-of course cleaned and well prepared." The committed participants of the Inservice Murtal employment project take responsibility for all processes in the shop. This includes the preparation of the goods up to customer care. The aim of the focus is on offering long -term unemployed people new opportunities and effectively into the labor market.

For the sorting of the articles, the shop works closely with the Knittelfeld waste management center to ensure that only products go on sale that meet the high standards. So goods are carefully sorted by condition and categories before they are kept on the shelves of the shop or in the warehouse.

A special feature of the Re-Use shop is the presentation of interesting articles that are presented every day on the shop of the shop. "We want to combine sustainability and regionality," explains Steiner-Veit. Regardless of whether it is urgently needed household appliances or an original gift for Christmas - visitors can look forward to an always changing selection.

The shop in Knittelfeld is part of a larger strategy of youth at Styria plant, which aims at creating jobs for long -term unemployed. These measures are supported by AMS Styria and the state of Styria, and they offer the participants valuable professional experience in various areas such as clearing out, maintaining green spaces and the care of re-use shops.

A number that should not be underestimated: 70 tons of furniture were disposed of in Knittelfeld alone in Knittelfeld alone. In view of this quantity discrepancy between waste and recycling, the opening of the new shop is not only a future -oriented project, but also a necessary development in order to preserve as many of these resources as possible and to introduce them back into the consumption cycle.
