The goal of this project is to produce a realistic view of post-consumer item types in the Rovaniemi region, and put together an overview of already existing models through which they are currently being processed. By post-consumer items in this context we mean second hand clothing, footwear, sports equipment, furniture, household objects and anything else that is possibly further identified during the project. We will gather information and evaluate regional post-consumer item types suitable for further re-sell or processing, taking into account regional tourism and consumer goods left behind by visitors, as well as exploring the concept of “dormant goods”. The project will aim to identify the most important type or types of post-consumer items and explore their potential for local business and employment and explore factors that would encourage a large portion of post-consumer items to enter into the consumer marketplace through innovation and physical or digital reachability.
