Reuse center for building material

For a long time, there has been various initiatives to recycle different materials either so that it can be used directly without any processing or to be used for new products. Efforts to recycle building materials and to sell them to new customers have proven to be a challenge. However, this initiative has successfully created a local market for the reuse of these materials. The store, which is open to the public. Prices are about 30 % compared to new price. There is a balance today between the materials received and the request from customers, but the potential is much bigger than today. To make better use of the potential, better collaboration with local construction companies is required. In addition to the center, where there's also a possibility for individuals and enterprises to leave their building material, there is another station in a bigger city nearby where materials can be dropped. The public enterprise responsible for the reuse center is owned by both these two municipalities. The first stop a visitor at the bigger city´s recycling station arrive to, is a station where he may drop materials to be sent to the reuse center. An advisor at the station help to figure out whether something can be reused or not. The second stop after that is a station where different materials are separated in various fractions e.g. plastics and left for reprocessing to new products or for combustion.
