Die Textillogistik befindet sich im Wandel: Nachhaltigkeit, Transparenz und Kreislauffähigkeit sind gefragter denn je. Wie ein mittelständisches Unternehmen aus Osnabrück diesen mitgestaltet, zeigt das Beispiel Meyer & Meyer. Ein Podcast-Gespräch über zirkuläre Logistik und Branchenkooperationen. Die Textillogistik steht an einem Wendepunkt – und ein Unternehmen aus Osnabrück geht dabei mit gutem Beispiel voran. In der aktuellen Folge des SAZsport-Podcasts spreche ich mit Max Meyer, CEO von Meyer & Meyer, und Nicola Eibich, Circular Fashion Consultant aus London und dessen Beraterin, über neue Wege in der Logistik, nachhaltige Prozesse und ihre Vision für eine funktionierende Kreislaufwirtschaft in der Sport- und Outdoorbranche. Denn Meyer & Meyer beschränkt sich längst nicht mehr nur auf den klassischen Warentransport oder die Lagerung. Mit ihrem Service „&flow“ bietet das Unternehmen Herstellern und Händlern zusätzlich die Möglichkeit, getragene oder beschädigte Textilien professionell zu reinigen, zu reparieren und wieder in den Markt zu bringen – sei es durch Rückgabe, Vermietung oder Wiederverkauf. Damit schließt das Familienunternehmen die Lücke zwischen Rückführung und Wiederverwertung, die viele Marken aktuell noch selbst zu füllen versuchen. Wie der gesamte Aufbereitungsprozess bei „&flow“ funktioniert, mit welchen Marken aus der Sportbranche Meyer & Meyer bereits zusammenarbeitet und welche Rückmeldungen es aus dem Handel und von Verbänden bisher gab, werden uns gleich Max Meyer und Nicola Eibich verraten. Auch ein spannendes Zukunftsprojekt kommt zur Sprache: ein Marktplatzangebot, über das aufbereitete Ware zurück in den Verkaufskreislauf gebracht werden soll. Reinhören lohnt sich – ich wünsche euch gute Erkenntnisse!

Manchmal beginnt Wandel mit einer einfachen Frage: Warum eigentlich wegwerfen? – Diese Frage stellte sich Christoph, als er beim Bau seiner eigenen Solaranlage auf voll funktionsfähige, aber aussortierte Module stieß. Gemeinsam mit seinem Freund Tillmann, ebenfalls Elektroingenieur und überzeugt von einer grüneren Zukunft, wurde aus dieser Frage eine Vision – und schließlich ein Unternehmen: Panelretter. Ihr Ziel: funktionstüchtige Solarmodule vor der Verschrottung retten, professionell aufbereiten und als sogenannte „Refurbished Panels“ wieder nutzbar machen. So entstehen Balkonkraftwerke, die nicht nur CO₂ sparen, sondern auch Elektroschrott vermeiden – mit TÜV-geprüfter Qualität und 10 Jahren Garantie. Im Gespräch mit Christoph geht es heute um die Geschichte hinter Panelretter, um Technik, Umweltbewusstsein und die Frage, wie jeder von uns Teil der Energiewende werden kann – ganz ohne Hightech-Hype, sondern mit gesundem Menschenverstand und viel Idealismus. Herzlich Willkommen Christoph, du bist beim Bau deiner eigenen Solaranlage über das gestoßen, was heute euer Geschäftsmodell ist – kann man sagen, Panelretter wurde aus einem Aha-Moment geboren?

A new study carried out by Fraunhofer Austria Research GmbH and refurbed, Ireland's leading online marketplace for refurbished devices, examined the number of unused devices across European households and their potential for refurbishment. The findings revealed that in Irish households, there are 7.6 million unused devices, or 1.43 old devices per person, of which 2.5 million have the potential to be refurbished and re-enter the market. Dublin City alone holds 874,830 unused smartphones, while households across Leinster account for a total of 4,219,076 old devices. In comparison, Munster has 1,373,346 unused smartphones, and Connacht holds 870,825. The study also found 642 million devices lie idle across European households, 211 million of which are suitable for professional refurbishment. The quantity of raw materials stored in these devices would allow Europe to meet its demand for metals, rare earths and other materials for several years. Speaking on the results, Peter Windischhofer, co-founder of refurbed said, "Two years ago, we commissioned Fraunhofer Austria to calculate life cycle assessment data for selected electronics, quantifying the environmental impact of refurbished vs new devices for the first time. Last year, we built a unique model with Fraunhofer that delivers scientifically verified data for thousands of refurbished phones, laptops, and tablets. Now, with this third study, we can show how much impact we can generate if consumers bring old devices back into the circular economy. This is definitely a call to action to Irish consumers." "Refurbishing smartphones offers huge potential in the circular economy," says Paul Rudorf, project lead at Fraunhofer Austria. "Devices destined to become e-waste are reintroduced into the usage cycle, reducing e-waste, extending product life and lessening the need for critical raw materials. It also minimises the environmental damage caused by mining and production, while offering affordable alternatives to consumers. Refurbishment is essential for preserving resources and promoting sustainability in electronics." On average, European households hold around €8 in the form of unused old smartphones. While this may not sound like much on an individual level, with 642 million unused devices in total, it adds up to a material value of €1.57 billion sitting in Europeans 'junk drawers'' across the EU. On average, buyback programs offer around €100 for devices aged between 2.8 and 4 years, meaning this results in an untapped market value of approximately €6.42 billion. Aside from financial savings, refurbishing unused devices and extending their use could also save the EU about 24 million tons of CO? equivalent and reduce virtual water usage by 8.5 billion cubic meters over the next 3 years. Since 2024, refurbed has provided a trade-in service in Ireland, helping minimise e-waste levels and repurpose old tech. refurbed is playing an active role, allowing Irish consumers to recycle their old devices, give them a new purpose and recover the valuable raw materials they contain. The refurbishment process is continuously monitored and refined, setting a higher benchmark for quality in the refurbished tech industry. To date, refurbed has saved over 270,000 tonnes of CO2, 900 tonnes of e-waste, and 94 billion litres of water since its founding in 2017, and has planted over 6.6 million trees.

65 homes in Clare have been returned to their former glory under the Vacant Property Refurbishment Scheme. Since it was launched back in June of 2022, over €3.7m worth of grants have been paid out in this county. The scheme applies to properties built before 2008 that have been unoccupied for at least two years, with up to €50,000 funding available for vacant buildings and €70,000 for derelict dwellings. Deputy Mayor of Clare Fine Gael Councillor Mary Howard believes the grant could be even more successful by extending the time limit for completion of works.

The announcement of the refurbishment of a number of housing commission homes has been overshadowed by the scandal involving Jo Haylen using her publicly funded private driver for a personal trip to the Hunter Valley.

Clare County Council is set to write to the Housing Minister to request the build time requirements of the Croí Conaithe scheme be extended. It follows a motion raised by Ennis Councillor Mary Howard at this month's meeting of the local authority which took place this week, which called for the scheme's allotted period for works to be increased from 18 months to 24 months. 149 applications have been approved so far in this county for the scheme which which provides assistance to those turning a house or building which has been vacant for two years at the time of application into a permanent home or rental property. Fine Gael Councillor Howard says when dealing with an older building, certain jobs simply take longer to complete.

It's claimed Clare people have a much greater role to play in breathing life back into local towns and villages. At the end of last year, the local authority was in receipt of 279 applications for Croí Conaithe funding, which can provide up to €50,000 for the restoration of vacant dwellings and €70,000 for derelict buildings. Subject to approval, this could lead to a potential investment of up to €7m to refurbish homes across the county. Newmarket-On-Fergus based Fianna Fáil local election candidate David Griffin believes greater participation in the scheme is key to tackling the housing crisis.

A former Mayor of Ennis claims the county town has been embarrassed by the recent deterioration of a prominent sports and recreational facility. So far this year 82,000 people have entered Lees Road John O'Sullivan Park in Ennis, with 4,200 vehicles and 400 pedestrians arriving on a weekly basis. However recent maintenance issues at the site has seen both national and provincial athletic tournaments diverted elsewhere. Clare County Council has now applied for a €250,000 government sports capital grant to rectify the matter and Ballybeg Fianna Fáil Councillor Claire Colleran Molloy says this can't come soon enough.

James Rigg is CEO of Trojan Electronics in Wales, and has a wealth of expertise in value-adding circular solutions for electrical and electronics manufacturers and retailers. James has built on his experience across retail and more recently, leading growth across the Buy It Direct Group, and is now focussed on expanding Trojan Electronics Circular Solutions to help retailers and manufacturers recover value and at the same time, reduce e-waste. Trojan provides services to high-profile brands, and we'll hear about some examples. E-waste – the waste from end-of-life or unwanted electricals and electronics – is the world's fastest growing waste stream, and is forecast to grow by 30% over this decade. The Trojan Electronics team provides electrical repair, refurb and resell services in several ways – through their client's own marketplace stores, through direct integration into the clients' ecommerce stores, and through Amazon, eBay, Tik Tok, Wowcher and others. Trojan is a £20M turnover business based in Swansea, south Wales, employing 150 staff in a purpose-built warehouse housing repairs and all its other services, and refurbishing over half a million items each year. Ahead of our conversation, James sent me some customer research, digging into people's attitudes to refurbished products, with some very encouraging findings, and we'll hear more about that in the conversation. I can share a few of the standout figures now: over a third of the respondents had bought a refurbished or repaired electrical item in the previous 12 months, including smartphones, laptops or tablets, and household appliances. Only 1% of those people had a bad experience with that purchase, and almost 80% said they'd buy refurbished in the future. And even though people knew they'd bought a refurbished item, 24% of customers couldn't tell the difference from the equivalent new product. The survey includes some market research, highlighting predictions for the growth of refurbished electronics – the market was valued at around $85bn in 2021 and is forecast to grow at 12% each year over the next decade. James is happy to share the research, and I've included a link to the research paper in the shownotes. James also shared information from Trojan's clients who are offering refurbished products alongside new versions, and the results are very exciting. However, at some clients, attitudes are slow to change, with people reluctant to make the transition to selling refurbished products as well as new versions, and James explains some of the reasons behind this.
