As part of a new project, the company is developing a standardized solution for B2C reusable shipping packaging. The aim is to establish a "return-anywhere principle" in which reusable packaging can be easily returned nationwide. This is made possible by a neutral database and existing logistics structures - similar to the successful Pfand system for bottles. + +For over 23 years, STILBRUCH, the second-hand store run by Hamburg's City Cleaning Department, has been at the forefront of reusing pre-owned goods and playing a key role in reducing waste in the city. From furniture and household items to clothing and electronics, countless products are given a second life here. As a pioneer of the circular economy in Hamburg, STILBRUCH embodies the reuse strategy with heart, insight, and success. ## Past Talks +<Accordion title="Circular Talks # 3 (30 July): Reduce Strategy"> + +Our guests were: + +#### Alena Schneck of <a href="https://re-toern.de/" target="_blank">toern</a> + +Alena Schneck is co-founder and CEO of the Hamburg-based start-up toern, which specializes in resource-efficient peer-to-peer returns.

Afterwards, in the discussion panel hosted by Karen Löhnert, Alena and Christian answered even more in-depth questions from both Karen herself and the engaged audience. Both of them emphasized once again how important it is for the circular economy community and start-ups in Hamburg to be able to use places like the Pop-Up Circular Hub for exchange, meetings and joint actions. + <Accordion title="Circular Talks # 2 (25 June): Rethink Strategy"> Our guests were: -- GitLab
