Isidingo sezingubo ezisetshenzisiwe siyakhula, kodwa izitolo eziningi esifundeni saseBergisches Städtedreieck zingaphansi kwengcindezi. Umagazini omusha we-"Forschung aktuell" (Current Research) ovela kwi-Institute for Work and Technology uhlola ukuthi umnotho ojikelezayo wesifunda wezindwangu ezisetshenzisiwe ungaqiniswa kanjani. Ucwaningo lusekelwe, phakathi kwezinye izinto, ematafuleni amane anezitolo ezisetshenzisiwe eziyishumi nanhlanu ezivela esifundeni, olwenziwa njengengxenye yephrojekthi exhaswe yi-ERDF i-FAB.Region Bergisches Städtedreieck. Kanye nabacwaningi, abanikazi bezitolo baxoxe ngokuhlunga, ukucubungula, ukuphinda kusetshenziswe izimpahla ezingathengiswa, ukuthutha, ukumaketha, kanye nemicimbi ehlanganyelwe. Ukuphikisana kwabonakala ngokushesha: ngenkathi amakhasimende efuna izingubo ezisetshenzisiwe, kunenani elikhulayo lezinto ezingasakwazi ukuthengiswa ngenxa yekhwalithi noma isimo. Imfashini esheshayo kanye nemfashini esheshayo kakhulu kuyayibhebhethekisa inkinga. Izinto ezisezingeni eliphansi kanye nokuqukethwe okuphezulu kwefayibha yokwenziwa kwenza ukusetshenziswa kabusha kanye nokuphinda kusetshenziswe kube nzima kakhulu. Imali engenayo iyehla, kuyilapho izindleko zokuhlunga, zokugcina, kanye nokulahla zikhuphuka. "Amathebula ajikelezayo aveza impikiswano esobala: Isidingo sezimpahla ezisetshenzisiwe siyakhula, kuyilapho ngesikhathi esifanayo izitolo eziningi zinezingubo eziningi ezingasakwazi ukuthengiswa ngenxa yekhwalithi noma isimo. Ngomnotho ojikelezayo wesifunda, ngakho-ke sidinga ukugxila kakhulu kulokhu kugeleza kwezindwangu," kusho uDkt. Kerstin Meyer ovela ocwaningweni lwe-Spatial Capital e-IAT.
Umgomo ukugcina izindwangu zisakazwa isikhathi eside ngangokunokwenzeka. Izinto ezingasathengiswa akufanele zibe yimfucuza, kodwa kunalokho zilungiswe, zivuselelwe, noma ziphinde zisetshenziswe zibe imikhiqizo emisha. Ukusetshenziswa kabusha okwandisiwe kanye nokusetshenziswa kabusha kwekhwalithi ephezulu kunganciphisa umthelela wemvelo embonini yezindwangu. Ngakho-ke inhlangano engenzi nzuzo i-GESA kanye nephrojekthi ye-FAB.Region bahlola ngokubambisana izindlela zokusebenzisa kabusha izingubo ezisetshenzisiwe futhi bahlose ukusungula umnotho wezingubo ezisetshenzisiwe zomphakathi nezijikelezayo oqinisa ukudalwa kwenani lesifunda. UMkhosi Wokulungisa Nokwabelana ngo-Okthoba 31, 2026, eWuppertal, ophetha i-Circular Week, uzobonisa ukuthi lokhu kungabonakala kanjani empilweni yansuku zonke ngaphansi kwesiqubulo esithi "Kusukela Endala Kuya Entsha." Abahleli bahlose ukusetha irekhodi lokulungisa eNorth Rhine-Westphalia ngokulungiswa okungenani okuyizinkulungwane ezine okubikiwe phakathi nenyanga eyodwa, ngaleyo ndlela bagcizelela ukuthi ukulungisa kuyindlela ewusizo yokuthenga okusha. Ukubhalisa kungenzeka ku-reparatur.fab-bergisch.org. Noma ubani olungisa, olungisa kabusha, noma owandisa isikhathi sokuphila kwezingubo noma ezinye izinto angahlanganyela. “Izixazululo zobuchwepheshe zodwa azanele. Ukuthenga okusetshenziswayo, ukulungisa, kanye nokuvuselela kabusha kudingeka kubonakale futhi kukhange kakhulu empilweni yansuku zonke. Imicimbi efana ne-Repair & Share Festival ingabonisa ukuthi umnotho ojikelezayo usebenza kanjani futhi ikhuthaze ukubamba iqhaza,” kusho uVera Austrup waseWuppertal Institute.
Ngesikhathi esifanayo, izingxoxo zembula ingcindezi yezomnotho. Izitolo eziningi azinabo abasebenzi nendawo yokusingatha inani elikhulayo lezingubo ezinikelwe. Inani lezindwangu ezisetshenzisiwe lehle kakhulu: ngo-2016, amanani ayesengamasenti angamashumi amathathu kuya kwamashumi amahlanu ngekhilogramu, kanti namuhla ngezinye izikhathi aphansi njengamasenti amahlanu kuya kwayishumi nambili. Ingxenye yezimpahla ezingathengiswa ikhuphuke kakhulu. Ngakho-ke i-FAB.Region ibilokhu isekela iBergisches Städtedreieck (Bergish Triangle) kusukela ngo-2024 endleleni yayo eya emnothweni wezindwangu ojikelezayo wesifunda. "Lo msebenzi uhlose ukuhlanganisa ngempumelelo amakhono ahlukahlukene esifundeni: izitolo ezisetshenzisiwe zingagxila ekusetshenzisweni kabusha, kuyilapho abanye abathintekayo belungiselela ukuhlunga, ukucubungula, kanye nokuvuselela kabusha. Sifuna ukuqhubeka nokuhlola izixazululo ezinjalo zokubambisana eBergisches Städtedreieck," kuchaza uSven Lucas Erhard, umphathi wephrojekthi ye-FAB.Region eBergische Gesellschaft (Bergish Society). Ucwaningo luphetha ngokuthi umnotho wezindwangu ojikelezayo wesifunda ungasebenza njengesakhiwo sokubambisana. Izitolo zigxila ezimpahleni ezingathengiswa, kuyilapho ababambiqhaza abahambisanayo bethatha ukuhlunga, ukucubungula, kanye nokuvuselela kabusha. Okunye okungenzeka kusezinhlelweni zemfundo, ukubonakala okwandisiwe, kanye nokubambisana phakathi kwezitolo ezisetshenzisiwe, ama-workshop, abasebenzisa kabusha, kanye nabanye abalingani. Incwadi ethi "Regional Circular Economy in the Used Clothing Business – Wishful Thinking or Reality?" ebhalwe nguKerstin Meyer, u-Inga Seiffert, uSven Lucas Erhard, uJuliane Palotz, kanye noVera Austrup itholakala mahhala ku-iat.eu/publikationen/forschung-aktuell. Iphrojekthi ye-FAB.Region ixhaswe yi-European Regional Development Fund kanye nesifundazwe saseNorth Rhine-Westphalia.
