Bag Exchange Station 3.0

Plastic bags have been replaced by paper in many areas – but this is not really sustainable. The bag exchange stations of the Frankfurt initiative Lust auf besser leben offer a simple, visible alternative: drop off bags, take them with you, reuse them.

Thanks to the support of the Röchling Foundation, the existing system is now being revised: The new generation, Bag Exchange Station 3.0, is based on a lightweight, cost-effective open-source design that can be produced using 3D printing. In addition, all stations will be linked to a digital knowledge hub in the future – accessible via QR codes, with information on plastic avoidance and local ReUse initiatives.

The aim is to distribute it nationwide: decentralized, locally supported, low-threshold and easily adaptable – supported by an active community.
