Description
Tweede Kans: making circular living easy in Amsterdam
Tweede Kans is an initiative by the City of Amsterdam that encourages residents to use their belongings longer. On average, Amsterdammers spend €1,832 per year on new items, while many old items could still be repaired. With a clear map of all repair shops, second-hand stores, and recycling points in the city, Amsterdam makes it easy to choose a sustainable alternative.
Why do we like this? Because the city genuinely helps you use things smarter: the map shows exactly where to go, saving money and reducing waste at the same time.
