Sorry, we are open!
designing new ways of consumption

The demand for sustainable consumption is increasing. More and more people are willing to change their habits in order to live more sustainably. This applies not only to living, working and mobility, but above all to the consumption of consumer goods. More and more people would like to buy products made from recycled materials, have products repaired, buy regional products and even spend more money on them. More and more people would rather borrow products than own them, lend out their goods or make their expertise available. More and more people would like to understand what? how? where? where? why? they consume and what they are doing with it.
In the project Sorry, we are open!, the students have developed sustainable product- service alternatives for the Neuwerk campus. They question habits and bring alternative business models to life. By sharing, borrowing, updating, repairing, composting, selling, circulating, exchanging and customising, resources are saved and materials are circulated. The product-service-structures invite people to contribute actively to a change in consumption.
