This semi-rural district of 53,00 inhabitants and 12 towns operates 4 recycling centres. These have witnessed the emergence of a new practices and a changing legal context. The district Council was also committed to substantially increase recycling and reuse within the area.
As part of a broader larger rejuvenation plan, local authorities initiated the relocation, redesign and enhancement of the largest of these recycling centres (132,000 visits, 4,200 t collected annually).
This entailed a deep understanding of emerging needs and practices, e.g. reuse, as to offer a service most suited to the population and durable in time. Inecko studied current and coming trends, then co-designed the new facility suggesting new services.
Specifically, we have:
​
-
Assessed current and emerging users’ practices and needs via several data collection tools; brought further perspective with recycling and reuse sociology
-
Evidenced a growing local trend for reusing, delving further into 7 practices and 6 items, quantified and qualified demand for 8 possible additional services
-
Co-designed the facility suggesting additions resulting from needs analysis: second hand shop, building tools hire, repairing shop
-
Collected quantitative and qualitative primary data via 205-respondents survey, 53 on-site interviews in 4 recycling centres, and 2 focus groups of 4 participants each
