Total recycling is a big vision - it means not wasting anything.
• It means wasting and attitudes that permit waste are unacceptable.
• Waste is proof that something is wrong in the society, it´s a true evidence. You can try burn it or bury it but still it´s an evidence of a society that's not sustainable.
• Waste means that there are product made that are wrong, we need a redesign of these products so they will fit in to a modern sustainable world.

We play on the heart
strings when
marketing the eco-
cycle park
It should be a pleasure
and easy to
● Donate
● Buy second-hand
● Sort one's waste
• Understand our system

A few facts about the eco-cycle park
About: 300-400 visitors per day
Turn over: 2013 1,2 milj.euro
Create work opportunities for about
25 people – very important, green
jobs
More than 130 guidings from
Sweden and more than 50 different
countries have visited our Park
We, the park and Gothenburg
makes a difference Free soil, bag and spade from
the city's own composting
plant to the young ones!

Are we influencing
people's
behaviour?
● Many come just to
donate. They stop at the
sorting station and drive
out again, without
visiting the recycling
centre ● Because we ask
ACTIVELY if the visitor
has something to
donate, we encourage
such behavior and more
things are left for re-
use.
• We educate people,
“learning by doing”

Prevention fact! Alelyckan Recyclingpark in Gothenburg prevents 360 tonnes of waste per year by enabling products to be reused rather than discarded, representing a reduction in environmental impact equivalent to the greenhouse gas emissions from 430 cars, each driven 15,000 kilometers. Approximately 2,200 tonnes of waste per year – equivalent to just over 5 percent of all waste material delivered to Gothenburg’s five recycling centers – could be prevented if these were converted to recycling parks. In other words, Alelyckan Recyclingpark is a facility that combines product reuse with waste sorting while encouraging visitors to contribute to product reuse rather than merely discarding their waste. We create jobs for people that have problem to get into the workmarket, we give them an extra chance

Alelyckan reduces the quantity of bulky waste delivered to the recycling centre by over 5 percent. The facility enables 360 tonnes of products per year to be reused rather than discarded. Every year, 2,200 tonnes of potentially reusable products are discarded at Gothenburg’s recycling centres. The corresponding figure for Sweden as a whole is 80,000 tonnes.
How much waste does Alelyckan Recycling- Reusing-Ecopark prevent?
