Pop-up Circular Hub

The platform for urban production and circular economy With exhibition, events, workshops and educational programs as part of the Jupiter Campus.

Exhibition, events, workshops and educational offers as part of the Jupiter BNE Campus

The exhibition, together with the parallel events, is a place for information about and networking between circular economy players in Hamburg. The exhibition will give you an overview of what the circular economy means and you can discover what is happening in Hamburg to establish a circular economy using examples, research approaches and projects. The exhibition also invites you to contribute your own ideas and questions!

Some of the many challenges addressed in the exhibition:

  • We live in a throwaway society and waste too many resources!

  • How can we improve this economically and individually?

  • Long transportation routes have a high CO2 footprint and pose increasingly higher risks for the economy and the environment. How and what can we produce locally?

  • Products are (usually) designed in such a way that they end up as waste. Can we avoid this through circular design?

  • Companies contribute significantly to environmental problems. How can circular economy strategies help them to operate more sustainably?

Through various formats - from panel discussions and workshops to specialist lectures - the different approaches and questions will be addressed by experts and discussed with the participants.

The timing is good, as Hamburg has been selected as a model city in the “Circular City - Opportunities for Resilience and Value Creation” project by the German Institute of Urban Affairs. The aim is to develop a model city-wide circular economy strategy and an action plan related to economic development by the beginning of 2025. So a lot is happening in our city when it comes to the circular economy!

27.11. - 18:00 - 21:00 - Circular Economy Office

Circular Economy Office: The future of recyclable office furniture - presentation and discussion on the status quo // Interreg North Sea Program

In the office furniture sector, many resources are still wasted and new office furniture is usually not designed for re-use, repair, refurbishment or recycling. At the same time, the way we work is changing rapidly and constantly. The Circular Economy Office (CEO) research project, which aims to transform the office furniture sector towards circularity, has emerged from this complex of issues.

Come along on November 27, get to know the project and discuss with us the status quo and how we can push the office furniture sector towards more circularity.

We look forward to seeing you!

01.+ 02.12. - 10:00 - 18:00 - Open Lab Starter Kit (OLSK) Build Workshop

The Open Lab Starter Kit (OLSK) Build Workshop is designed as a learning experience for participants to learn more about open source machines and local production. During the workshop, participants will build a 3D printer from a pre-built kit together with experienced tutors.

By building the 3D printer, participants will be able to understand how it works, how it is made and therefore how it can be repaired, thereby learning about the possibilities of open source hardware.

The aim of the workshop is to build a working 3D printer and train the participants in the process.

The workshop will be held in English!

Open workshop, just come along and join in!

04.12. - 18:30 - 21:00 - Fab City Intro

The “Fab City Intro” introduces interested parties to the concepts of Fab Labs and the global Fab City network and is the tried-and-tested format for anyone looking for information or initial access to the maker community in Hamburg. Fab Labs are open workshops that provide access to tools for digital fabrication and are meeting places for the community. Participants of the event will learn how to use a Fab Lab to develop, repair and reuse artifacts and products as well as to develop (design) concepts that contribute to the circular economy.

05.12. - 13:00 - 15:00 - MoloHubs: Waste collection at mobility sites

MoloHubs: Waste collection at mobility hubs - Round Table // Interreg North Sea Program Stadtreinigung Hamburg and HiiCCE are part of the MoloHubs research project, which is funded by the European Commission. In the project, we want to create and test synergies between shared mobility hubs and waste collection. Cabinet collection systems for special waste fractions are intended to give citizens the opportunity to combine routes and dispose of their waste at the same time as using shared mobility services. The aim is to close the gap between waste collection at the door and the collection of recyclables at recycling centers.

Come along on December 5, get to know the project and discuss the status quo and our plans with us and stakeholders. We will also be launching the Hamburg Reallabor.

We look forward to seeing you!

Project partners

The “Pop-Up Circular Hub” is an exhibition and series of events organized by the Ministry for the Environment, Climate, Energy and Agriculture, the Hamburg Institute for Innovation, Climate Protection and Circular Economy GmbH, Fab City Hamburg and the New Production Institute and curated by Wolf Kühr.

Ministry for the Environment, Climate, Energy and Agriculture (BUKEA), Amt E

BUKEA’s Amt E deals with the core areas of energy, climate protection and sustainability. This includes activities relating to the circular economy. In particular, its tasks include supporting an energy- and resource-efficient economy, for example through the UmweltPartnerschaft Hamburg corporate network, financing a free initial consultation by ZEWUmobil and the HK environmental consultants as well as the PROFI Umwelt (Transfer) funding program.

Hamburg Institute for Innovation, Climate Protection and Circular Economy GmbH

The HiiCCE Institute is a research institute affiliated with the Hamburg University of Technology and is also a subsidiary of Stadtreinigung Hamburg. The institute develops holistic solutions for the global challenges of climate protection and the circular and resource economy and conducts research into various areas of the circular economy.

Fab City Hamburg e. V.

In June 2019, the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg became the first German city to join the global Fab Cities Alliance. It has thus taken on the challenge of converting the urban economy to a comprehensive, digitally supported circular economy: Hamburg will then be able to produce (almost) everything that is consumed in the city itself. Fab City Hamburg e.V. was founded in 2020 to institutionalize the Fab City in Hamburg. It is funded by the Ministry of Economics and Innovation. The association publicizes the idea of the Fab City, supports its development and documents its progress.

New Production Institute

The New Production Institute emerged from the interdisciplinary research group Value Creation Systems of the Laboratory of Production Engineering at Helmut Schmidt University Hamburg. As a think tank for the future of value creation and production, the experts at the New Production Institute are involved in various projects dealing with the transformation of value creation systems against the backdrop of new possibilities for networking and production in times of digital transformation. The focus is particularly on the operationalization of openness in new modes of value creation (open innovation, open design, open production and open source).
