What happens if we replace the word Waste with Resources?

We live in a society of excess and we need to adapt our behaviour to consume in a more sustainable way. When a product has been used up according to the user, the product can live on in a new form with a new user – we create a cycle of resources.

The idea behind Resursens hus is simple. Centralise the handling of resources and coordinate the distribution of, among other things, online purchases, food deliveries, and different mobility solutions at a neighbourhood level. We also want to enable the recycling and sharing of resources, offer tools for minor repairs, and convey knowledge on living a more sustainable life. Resursens hus also has the potential to become a really useful service hub for the residents.

Oceanhamnen is Helsingborg’s most sustainable district. Here you can find many smart solutions for circular flows that support the residents in living more sustainably. We hope that Resursens hus will play an important role by being a collection point for resources and also a place for social interaction. We are also improving traffic safety through proactive traffic reduction that is resulting in fewer lorries and garbage trucks in the residential areas.

Resursens hus is for those living in Oceanhamnen and the activities will be developed together with the residents. The results will be increased quality of life and more efficient material flows that save both time and money. The ambition is to support the transition to a more circular economy, to go from waste to resources, and to create a feeling of community.

In 2016, the author Conny Palmqvist came to the Vision Fund looking for funding for a little documentary on the Sewing Club, a group that smuggled refugees across the strait in the 1940s.

The City of Helsingborg will be the first in Sweden to build a large-scale urban sewer system for waste separation in Oceanhamnen. Starting from the 1960s, the current sewer system has to a large extent been extended in stages to solve the environmental problems arising from the city’s sewage.

I have found my community in Helsingborg, and it gives me the support and drive I need to continue working for what I believe in.

An innovation culture starts behind the school desk. Or rather around it. Above, under, beside, and in front of the school desk. Perhaps more specifically, in the whole classroom, the whole school, the whole municipality.

I am active in Helsingborg’s divers club Delfinen, and we pick up trash from the ocean floor at least once a year.

Within the enormous wood industry, both producers and researchers are searching for more sustainable binding agents as an alternative to the synthetic products used today in, for example, particleboard. Greener adhesives are needed, and that’s where we come in.

When I moved to Helsingborg, not in my wildest dreams did I think that someday I would be involved with the city, running community projects and would meet such amazing people. It all started with being wholly lost in translation in my first few months, looking for information and things to do.

In the innovation initiative that the City of Helsingborg has launched with H22, we’re aiming for big, bold changes – what’s known as radical innovation. This ambition involves two key prerequisites that clearly differentiate innovation from traditional development.

Innovation is important but sometimes can be hard to understand, or for that matter describe. But if you put the world ‘social’ before it, it’s another thing altogether.

Dialogue work is about engagement, community, happiness, and trust. Happiness is an especially important aspect for me. Every person deserves to be met with a smile and a greeting. This is the moment when the potential for dialogue and a sense of community is realised.
