The catalyst: connecting local initiatives to multiply the collective impact

Avatar: World Of Plenty World Of Plenty

In short: the networking of local sustainable initiatives creates more visibility and brings the circular economy to where it begins: in your neighborhood. Local initiatives such as Züri shares, Madame Frigo or Teilschrank make valuable contributions to sharing, exchange, food waste reduction and repair. But they are often only known in one niche – scattered on various websites, hardly networked and difficult to find for many neighbourhood residents. In addition, they often lack the necessary resources. We are changing that. Our platform connects these and other local offers and makes the diversity in the neighbourhood easily visible and accessible. This creates a lively network of initiatives that strengthen each other, share resources and multiply their impact together. The solution for more visibility: an inclusive, intuitive website – with the aim of keeping objects in circulation. We make it as easy as possible for everyone to pass things on, repair them, use them for a long time and keep valuable resources in the neighbourhood. Example Comparis.ch - instead of searching for data from each health insurer, Comparis offers a platform for comparing services. Through the individual search, the need can be expressed and the right offer can be found. Are you an individual or part of a group? I am a very well-connected individual and want to act as a bridge builder between the various initiatives. Are you implementing the idea alone or are you still looking for comrades-in-arms? I'm still looking for comrades-in-arms Describe the place(s) Networking local initiatives creates numerous effective points of contact for us: From the locations of Madame Frigo to the mailboxes of the Züri-shares community to exchange cabinets, we reach a critical mass that sets our platform in motion right from the start. In addition, we can be present at flea markets and Christmas markets with a "cycle" stand. There we create easy access to repair services, gift locations, replacement cabinets and other offers. In this way, we make it visible that in addition to classic consumption, there are a variety of sustainable, communal opportunities – right on our doorstep. Why in the pilot district? The platform is expected to grow organically; growing out of a neighbourhood is the ideal basis.
