This entire week from 16-24 November it is the European week for waste reduction, which also has a Dutch website.The aim is to encourage all Europeans make others aware of renewable sources and recycling options.
While the one entry listed for the Netherlands is a clothing swap in The Hague, our own campus also regularly has clothing swaps, the latest during the sustainability week.
As for awareness, I still think the best publication with options along the entire supply chain was: Circular Economy 3.0 - Solving confusion around new conceptions of circularity by synthesising and re-organising the 3R's concept into a 10R hierarchy.This shows the following ten options, and the first 4 (R0-R3) and R7 are specifically for consumers to consider, and can really help with rethinking choices for circularity in our own lives.
R0 = Refuse
R1 = Reduce
R2 = Resell, Reuse
R3 = Repair
R4 = Refurbish
R5 = Remanufacture
R6 = Re-purpose
R7 = Recycle materials
R8 = Recover energy
R9 = Re-mine
