TALK: How un-labeling can help to achieve a circular society

[Vera]

Who are we / Wer sind wir ?

Nora is the co-founder of the social upcycling business mimycri. At mimycri, refugees and Berliners design bags out of broken refugee rubber boats: https://mimycri.de/

What will we do / Was werden wir machen ?

In a short talk I would like to share our experience about the power of “un-labeling” waste: the same material/product can be perceived as a burden and cost or as a valuable resource, depending on the perspective that you take. We believe that the reflection about our perception of waste is the starting point for a more circular economy and society. We want to share our experience with you and discuss options on all levels on how to use the power of un-labeling to achieve a more circular economy. We want you to leave with an open mind and a million new ideas.

Hi @Vera , here is Lars - one of the organisers of the event. Is there a way you present this as some kind of hands-on-session where you actually make bags on site? Or is that to complicated?

[Vera]

It will not be possible to do that, as it is too complicated to bring the sewing machine etc., but I could bring some boat material and some bags and explain how they are made.

[Lars2i]

Cool. That is good enough
