Live resource-efficiently

Living in a resource-efficient way means making conscious choices to reduce our impact on the environment. By sorting waste at the source, sharing and exchanging items with neighbors, and buying secondhand, you can save both money and natural resources.

Become a Recycler

Sort your waste at the source so it can be recycled, which saves both energy and resources. Skövdebostäder strives to offer you, as a tenant, the opportunity to sort packaging and food waste as close to home as possible. 

Share or swap items with your neighbors

Maybe your neighbor could use some of the things you don't use—swap and share items with each other. Also, try out apps designed for sharing items with others. For example, GoMore for cars and Hygglo for other types of items.  

Shop for Used Items

It takes a full 2,700 liters of water to produce the cotton for a single T-shirt. Buying clothes that someone else has outgrown is a more climate-friendly alternative. Buying secondhand saves a full 97 percent in energy, as well as large amounts of chemicals and water, compared to if the same garment were manufactured from scratch.

Rent Sports Equipment

Instead of buying sports equipment, you can borrow it from Fritidsbanken.
