As an alternative to the throwaway society, the circular economy aims to use and recycle the limited resources available to us for as long as possible in order to increase the service life of products and avoid waste. Long-lasting products are not only more ecologically sustainable, but also increase consumer satisfaction, as they can save money in the long run. Here we present 10 social enterprises from Austria, all of which act in the spirit of the circular economy and thus make a positive contribution to SDG #12 &#8211; &#8220;Sustainable Consumption and Production&#8221;, SDG #9 &#8211; &#8220;Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure&#8221; and SDG #15 &#8211; &#8220;Life on Land&#8221; up to SDG #16 &#8211; &#8220;Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_row_69db9cd6ba43e2_19065842\" class=\"cmsmasters_row cmsmasters_color_scheme_default cmsmasters_row_top_default cmsmasters_row_bot_default cmsmasters_row_boxed\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer_parent\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_inner\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_margin\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_column one_fourth\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_img  cmsmasters_image_n\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/good-search.org\/about\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/Unverschwendet_Logo_web-350.png\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_column three_fourth\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_text\">\n<p><strong>\u201cUnverschwendet\u201d processes surplus fruits and vegetables into delicious products<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to a recent study, as much as 760,000,000 kilograms of food are thrown away in Austria every year. At 53 percent, private households account for more than half of the wasted food, followed by agriculture and production, where a total of 30 percent of food is thrown away. Lastly, there is the gastronomy with 12 percent and retail with 5 percent surplus food. So this is a real problem of our time. How nice that in the meantime one can find many initiatives that successfully fight against the throwaway society.

In loving handicraft, a small delicatessen manufactory further processes unsightly fruits and vegetables into delicious jams, chutneys, pickles, ketchup, sauces and syrups. Since its founding in 2016, the Viennese startup has been able to save over 5 million kilos of food. In addition to private and corporate customers, the young company also works with the Wiener Tafel and other social institutions to make their products available to as many people as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_row_69db9cd6ba6a31_78262420\" class=\"cmsmasters_row cmsmasters_color_scheme_default cmsmasters_row_top_default cmsmasters_row_bot_default cmsmasters_row_boxed\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer_parent\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_inner\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_margin\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_column one_first\">\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_video_wrap_69db9cd6ba9ec8_17025077\" class=\"cmsmasters_video_wrap\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Unverschwendet 2017 Social Challenges Pitch - English\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0EkYH4S_ncs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_row_69db9cd6baa3c7_93458957\" class=\"cmsmasters_row cmsmasters_color_scheme_default cmsmasters_row_top_default cmsmasters_row_bot_default cmsmasters_row_boxed\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer_parent\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_inner\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_margin\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_column one_fourth\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_img  cmsmasters_image_n\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/good-search.org\/about\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/plasticpreneur.logo_-300x39.png\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_column three_fourth\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_text\">\n<p><strong>&#8220;Plasticpreneur&#8221; offers solutions that make plastic waste valuable again<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our world is now full of plastic. As practical as it sometimes is, the degradation of plastics is problematic. Therefore, it is even more important that the material is reused and reprocessed as often as possible. However, due to a lack of recycling facilities, little know-how and a low level of awareness, only nine percent of plastic waste is currently recycled worldwide. The Viennese social startup &#8220;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/plasticpreneur.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Plasticpreneur<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8221; offers solutions for recycling plastics on a small scale. With their mobile machines, it is possible to start recycling plastic from anywhere. Meanwhile, the social enterprise&#8217;s products are widely used in more than 55 countries on five different continents. Thus, the social enterprise helps to rid the environment of plastic waste, save CO2 emissions and create a better awareness of the issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_row_69db9cd6bac124_41480761\" class=\"cmsmasters_row cmsmasters_color_scheme_default cmsmasters_row_top_default cmsmasters_row_bot_default cmsmasters_row_boxed\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer_parent\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_inner\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_margin\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_column one_fourth\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_img  cmsmasters_image_n\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/good-search.org\/about\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/Die-Fairmittlerei-LOGO-Beere-RGB-72dpi-transparent-1-300x156.png\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_column three_fourth\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_text\">\n<p><b>&#8220;Die Fairmittlerei&#8221; mediates surplus goods from industry and trade to NGOs<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While there are now numerous initiatives in the food sector that positively contribute to minimizing food waste, there are hardly any offers in the non-food sector. &#8220;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.diefairmittlerei.at\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Die Fairmittlerei<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8221; is Austria&#8217;s first initiative for the distribution of products in the non-food sector, which operates according to the same concept as its counterpart from Germany (&#8220;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.innatura.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Innatura<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;) and the UK (&#8220;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inkinddirect.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In-Kind Direct<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;). The organizations bridge the gap between the intention of donating surplus goods from industry and commerce and actually giving them to non-profit NGOs. In doing so, the Fairmittlerei can draw on a broad network of donor companies and take over the complete storage and logistics of the surplus goods. The initiative then delivers these surplus goods to non-profit organizations throughout Austria. With its work, the Fairmittlerei creates a real win-win situation in logistical and financial terms, but above all for the environment &#8211; as the goods do not simply end up in the garbage, but are put to good use.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_row_69db9cd6bade30_55920992\" class=\"cmsmasters_row cmsmasters_color_scheme_default cmsmasters_row_top_default cmsmasters_row_bot_default cmsmasters_row_boxed\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer_parent\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_inner\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_margin\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_column one_first\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_text\">\n<div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8214\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8214\" style=\"width: 1100px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8214 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/good-search.org\/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/FairmittlereiDas-Team-2017_16-Fotocredits-Lukas-Ilgner_1100.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"688\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8214\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Lukas Ilgner \/ Fairmittlerei<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\">With its idea, the Fairmittlerei team wants to show new ways<br \/>\nto reduce the waste of existing resources.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_row_69db9cd6bae8f7_86452015\" class=\"cmsmasters_row cmsmasters_color_scheme_default cmsmasters_row_top_default cmsmasters_row_bot_default cmsmasters_row_boxed\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer_parent\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_inner\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_margin\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_column one_fourth\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_img  cmsmasters_image_n\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/good-search.org\/about\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/logo-gabarage-300x55.png\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_column three_fourth\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_text\">\n<p><strong>Genuine craftsmanship and innovative design with added value from &#8220;Gabarage Upcycling Design&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Viennese label &#8220;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gabarage.at\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gabarage<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8221; combines craftsmanship and innovative design with real added value.

Fortunately, there are numerous Austrian associations that act as great points of contact for the topic. For example, the website of &#8220;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerowasteaustria.at\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Zero Waste Austria<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8221; provides a map of unpackaged stores in your area, while the association for repair culture &#8220;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/reparo.earth\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">re.paro<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8221; shows where the nearest repair caf\u00e9 is located. Meanwhile, if you want to start at home, a workshop with food waste consultant Elke Oberhauser, who offers customized consulting for private households and companies with the Carinthian association &#8220;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bestoftherest.at\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Best of the Rest<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8221; might be worthwhile. Her sessions not only cover healthy food consumption, but also discuss all other areas that revolve around consumption. She tests food for quality, creates individualized nutrition plans and advises people on how to make their purchases sustainable. She also educates people on how to properly store and utilize various foods so that there is as little waste as possible. In her consultations, she focuses primarily on the consumption of seasonal and regional products from organic cultivation and gives practical tips on how to make delicious use of rather unknown culinary treasures such as carrot greens and radish leaves so that they do not end up in the trash can.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a roadmap for the future adopted by the global community in 2015.
