Novonovo is a digital platform for circular economy. It helps the creative community to locate second-hand materials and products. Those with surplus materials can find users to pass them on. Novonovo brings together creators and waste, promoting creativity and a healthy planet.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
From coffee grounds collected in Lisbon, N\u00c3M produces mushrooms and natural fertilizer. This is an urban farming project that reuses locally generated waste. Every month, from 3 tonnes of coffee grounds, N\u00c3M produces up to 1 tonne of mushrooms and 4 tonnes of fertilizer. Like nature, N\u00c3M makes no waste – only resources.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
This vintage style clothing brand uses industrial textile waste. Besides salvaging those resources, Vintage for a Cause offers conviviality, training and opportunities to women. The project currently involves 18 portuguese municipalities and the Red Cross.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
Xylocopa Books & Works wants to get the Portuguese reading more and better. To do this, it uses the medium of a used bookshop in the historic centre of \u00cdlhavo, at a local level, and personalised book recommendation packages (always using used books), at a national level. We promote a monthly agenda of activities and civic initiatives to promote books and reading and, above all, we try to activate the territory and the community around us with good practices of community integration and circular economy, transforming suppliers into customers and partners through the reuse of books.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
CLOBIES is an online shop dedicated to the hire and sale of second-hand baby clothes for babies aged 0 to 24 months, with a focus on sustainability. It offers two alternatives to buying new clothes: the sale of second-hand clothes with guaranteed quality and the monthly rental of clothing packs, where customers choose their preferences in terms of type of garment, colours and styles, with pre-selected packs. These packs are carefully selected, washed and sanitised to suit the baby’s stage of growth. At the end of the rental period, the clothes are returned, sanitised again and prepared for the next user.<\/p>
CLOBIES also offers the option of buying second-hand items, reinforcing its commitment to economical, practical and sustainable solutions. CLOBIES’ mission is to provide an affordable and sustainable alternative to baby fashion, reducing waste and promoting the reuse of clothes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
