Scrap Library CEMUS and Uppsala University
The Waste Map project highlights flows of waste in Uppsala, regionally and globally. By mapping waste sources, destinations, and patterns, and resource use, it provides invaluable insights into how reuse and upcycle materials, and build more sustainable waste management systems. This project empowers individuals and organizations to make informed decisions, reduce waste, and take collective action toward a more circular future.

 

Scrap Library Bus / Bike / Bag
The Scrap Library Bus, Bike, and Bag initiative takes sustainability on the road. Designed for schools, universities, and educators, this project focuses on how scrap materials can be upcycled into new, useful and fun items, serving as an inspiration to communities, and fostering creativity and environmental consciousness wherever it goes. By bringing resources directly to learners, it empowers them to create and collaborate with a focus on reuse, inspiring a hands-on approach to sustainability.

Uppsala UnContain Collaboratory
The Uppsala UnContain Collaboratory builds on experiences from similar meeting places around Uppsala and the world. It intends to be a creative space for meetings, learning, research and different community-based initiatives, as well as a cultural hub, makers space and workshop for more hands-on activities. Housed in upcycled containers designed by professionals, students and community actors, it hopes to create a space that transcends conventional spaces and formats. These flexible, eco-conscious spaces promote interdisciplinary collaboration, offering room for meaningful innovation and important dialogues on pressing global challenges.
