Our setups and workshops can be funded in various ways. We will advise you on which options are suitable for you, help you navigate the funding jungle and show you how you can refinance your project sustainably.
01 - Funding opportunities
We advise you
01
Many of our initiators finance workshops or set-ups from their own budget – often with savings elsewhere that we can help with.
02
Public and private funding programs offer up to 100% financing – we will help you find suitable programs and support you with the first steps.
03
Old glass bottles can be turned into jars, vases or lanterns that can be expanded and sold to cover the investment in the workshop or set-up.
Financing & funding ideas
02 - Practical examples of promotion
This is how we try to help
Just imagine: At the summer party on the allotment site, visitors create vases, lanterns and decorative elements for their gardens from collected used glass bottles.
Added value & promotion:
The campaign promotes environmental awareness, participation and community – financed by association funds and a small environmental education fund.
Imagine this: A workshop for the disabled or an environmental festival offer upcycling workshops with a focus on inclusion, education and zero waste.
Added value & funding:
Thanks to full funding (e.g. Aktion Mensch, environmental education programs), there are no costs for the institution or organizer.
Imagine this: A nursery or café uses upcycled bottles as vases/votive holders and sells them with flowers or as table decorations. The sale refinances the upcycling set-up.
Added value & promotion:
The setup is amortized through product sales or DIY workshops – sustainably and promotes environmental awareness.
03 - Funding opportunities by topic
Upcycling offers a practical solution for avoiding waste and raises awareness of sustainable consumption. Environmental groups and initiatives can use live upcycling to enrich events, raise awareness and make zero-waste concepts tangible.
In addition to our advisory services, it is worth taking a look at the Zero Waste Agency’s funding compass. There you will find a comprehensive overview of current funding programs for zero waste, environmental education, circular economy and sustainable initiatives – from regional to nationwide grants. Use the funding compass to discover further sources of funding for your project and find the right support for your project.
