Kampen introduces the De Tweede Ronde Route for second-hand gems and repairs
Residents of the municipality of Kampen can now discover online where they can find local second-hand products or have broken items repaired. With the launch of www.tweederonderoute.nl the municipality brings together all local spots where products get a second life: from vintage and second-hand shops to skilled craftsmen who repair what’s broken. Alderman Bas Wonink launched the website today by having his shoes repaired at Schoenenhuis Brink in IJsselmuiden.
Professional repairs
With De Tweede Ronde Route, the municipality aims to encourage residents to opt more often for reuse and repair.
Alderman Bas Wonink: “Sustainability doesn’t have to be complicated. There are so many great places in the municipality of Kampen where products get a second chance and where skilled craftsmen perform quality repairs. This route brings everything together in an accessible way and invites you to go exploring. That’s not only good for the environment, but also for your wallet.”
Choose quality
According to Rober Brink of Schoenenhuis Brink, 99 out of 100 items brought to him can be repaired.
Rober: “Think not only of regular shoes, but also hiking boots, sneakers, bags, jackets, and equestrian gear.” He advocates for people to buy fewer shoes and, when they do, to opt for high-quality ones. That’s better for your body, the environment, and your wallet, because they last much longer.”
