While the city of Gothenburg has a high rate of recycling, the amount of waste generated by the city is still high. This is why the city has started a program to promote higher-level ways of value retention such as repairing and reusing goods, in order to minimise the amount of waste generated by 30% until 2030. The city has set itself clear goals to incentivise the departments of the municipality as well as its citizens to avoid and reduce waste. It also opened four repair spaces in order to let products last longer, and collaborate with businesses in the city. Under the program, Gothenburg employs three full-time employees to push circularity in the city.
