This will be made possible through the collaboration between two
progressive actors who both have taken the lead in the transition to
sustainability - Vasakronan, the world's first climate neutral real
estate company and Houdini Sportswear, a sustainable outdoor brand that
has gone from linear to circular, that is developing new sustainable
business models and want to inspire others to follow their path.
- Together with Vasakronan we feel that we are a strong team with a
common vision of how we can minimize our impact on the environment and
how we can contribute to a vibrant urban environment not only through
sustainable products, but by thinking more holistic about the function
of a store with a circular thinking as a strong foundation, says
Houdini's CEO Eva Karlsson.
The store will be located at Magasinsgatan 22 in Gothenburg and is
approximately 100 sqm. Besides the obvious of choosing the right
materials, colors and lighting from an environmental perspective, we
will also offer their Re-projects - Reuse, Rent, Repair and Recycle.
- We strongly believe that you can consume in an environmentally
friendly way, by just thinking outside the box. Rent, borrow or swap
with friends, buy second hand and if you want to buy new products, make
sure it is something that lasts a long time and is manufactured under
good conditions, both for workers and for the environment, says Maria
Sarwe who is in charge of the new store.
We have all of our production in Europe, and we want to inspire people
to look at consumption in a new way. We design and manufacture products
that are multi-functional, long lasting, and therefore can be used by
many. With the Re-projects we prolongs the product life further. This
requires a change in behavior even among users, where access to a
product and the functionality it delivers, it is important - not to own
it. With this as a natural part of our business model we created a
strong base for the environment and the economy to go hand in hand,
rather than being in conflict with each other.
