This addresses not only fashion items, but also other household items. A lot of people do not now how discard certain items or what to do with unused clothing items. So a lot of the times they just end up in landfill.]]> 2020-04-15 07:39:37 UTC https://padlet.com/karolinmikkal/vuur64locidu8fbr/wish/507894431 karolinmikkal https://padlet.com/karolinmikkal/vuur64locidu8fbr/wish/507910383 My idea is to develop an app that shows specific location to where you can bring your items based on your location. You can choose if you have usable clothing, unusable clothing etc. My dream is to encourage more people to recycle rather that throw everything to one bin. ]]> 2020-04-15 07:48:55 UTC https://padlet.com/karolinmikkal/vuur64locidu8fbr/wish/507910383 karolinmikkal https://padlet.com/karolinmikkal/vuur64locidu8fbr/wish/514193249 This App adds value to:
*People, they now where to bring their broken and unused items
*Recycling centers, they will have more business
*Society in general - encourage more people to recycle. Good for environment.
*Second hand shop - get more business]]> 2020-04-18 10:53:55 UTC https://padlet.com/karolinmikkal/vuur64locidu8fbr/wish/514193249 karolinmikkal https://padlet.com/karolinmikkal/vuur64locidu8fbr/wish/515034853 This project is based on different businessmodels. It is mostly based on community-based model. However different recycle points may be based on platform or circular models.]]> 2020-04-19 08:09:39 UTC https://padlet.com/karolinmikkal/vuur64locidu8fbr/wish/515034853 karolinmikkal https://padlet.com/karolinmikkal/vuur64locidu8fbr/wish/515036922 *Community/Government funding for developing. Important for developing the platform and keeping it maintained. 
*Network partners (recycling centres, secondhand shops, stores that accepts broken/used items of type). They add the most value, without these places the app would not work.
*People. People who value recycling or are willing to try. 
Addition from external test: proper research when choosing the partners/locations.]]> 2020-04-19 08:11:42 UTC https://padlet.com/karolinmikkal/vuur64locidu8fbr/wish/515036922 karolinmikkal https://padlet.com/karolinmikkal/vuur64locidu8fbr/wish/576678295 The strategy for this project is community building.]]> 2020-05-16 13:10:18 UTC https://padlet.com/karolinmikkal/vuur64locidu8fbr/wish/576678295 karolinmikkal https://padlet.com/karolinmikkal/vuur64locidu8fbr/wish/576679793 My core activities are Reuse and Recycle. Because the purpose of the app would be to find place to either recycle your product or give it a new life.
Addition from external test: add places to donate usable items (shelters etc). ]]> 2020-05-16 13:11:56 UTC https://padlet.com/karolinmikkal/vuur64locidu8fbr/wish/576679793 karolinmikkal https://padlet.com/karolinmikkal/vuur64locidu8fbr/wish/628665190 1) In our country there is a similar website that shows some locations of collection points (glass, paper). 2) Yes, it is legally allowed. 3) It contributes, if you have the right partners to work with. However reselling partners is contributing more to the business side. 4) Encourages people to recycle more; easy to find a place; no more excuses not to recycle; keeps environment and cities clean; great for personal development. Negative: maybe people start to abuse these collecting points. 5) Add more collecting points around the city; make sure you research your partners and work only with these who do not send items to landfill or developing countries; would like to see info about shelters where to donate; good to use when you live abroad for a short term. 

I think i am on a right track. I need to make sure my partners are trustworthy and implements some additions that people would like to have!]]> 2020-06-16 09:43:20 UTC https://padlet.com/karolinmikkal/vuur64locidu8fbr/wish/628665190 karolinmikkal https://padlet.com/karolinmikkal/vuur64locidu8fbr/wish/644903163 *The long-term effects are people recycling more, less trash in landfill, more second hand and hopefully people considering more before buying. 
*There would be less trash. Everything that can be recycled will be recycled. Regarding Co2 reduction - i think this would encourage people to shop more at 2ndhand stores, which would lessen co2. However i don't think there would drastically change anything - there is still the need of transporting everything. 
*My project has a positive impact on the local community. I think the impacts are lasting, this is something that people will start get used to doing more. My project is a way to help the process.]]> 2020-07-01 11:40:48 UTC https://padlet.com/karolinmikkal/vuur64locidu8fbr/wish/644903163 karolinmikkal https://padlet.com/karolinmikkal/vuur64locidu8fbr/wish/644912483 This is not a business project for me. It is more like a community project. At this point I would say external funding is necessary. ]]> 2020-07-01 11:57:59 UTC https://padlet.com/karolinmikkal/vuur64locidu8fbr/wish/644912483
