We Can Easily Share Sportswear

At Eltwin, we take sustainability seriously – that also includes small actions that can make a big difference. In 2024, we proudly contributed to Grøn Bazar, an initiative that gives second-hand sportswear and equipment a new life among families in need.

Grøn Bazar is a collaboration between Jyske Bank, Aarhus Håndbold Fonden, and Aarhus Municipality’s Department of Culture and Citizen Services. The initiative aims to enable more children and young people to participate in sports clubs, ensuring that financial constraints do not become a barrier. This is a cause that Eltwin fully supports.

"We managed to gather no less than 23.67 kg of used sportswear, equal to about 300 kg CO₂e. We are proud to support Grøn Bazar and contribute to a circular economy where resources are maximized rather than wasted."

Sharing Sportswear for a Greater Purpose

The campaign, We Can Easily Share Sportswear, was a great success – also internal at Eltwin. We encouraged employees to donate used sports clothing and equipment in good condition. Items such as sports clothes, running shoes, football boots and indoor sports shoes were collected to be passed on to new owners.

To facilitate donations, collection bags were placed in our reception area, allowing employees to drop off their contributions. The collected items were then delivered to Grøn Bazar and distributed free of charge at the event where all families in needs were welcome to gather what they may need.

Sustainability in Action

This initiative exemplifies how Eltwin integrates sustainability into our daily operations. Reusing sportswear is not just an environmental benefit—it also fosters community spirit by giving more children and young people the opportunity to engage in sports without financial concerns. We managed to gather no less than 23.67 kg of used sportswear, equal to about 300 kg CO₂e. We are proud to support Grøn Bazar and contribute to a circular economy where resources are maximized rather than wasted.

Clothes that are no longer in use but still in perfectly good condition can make a real difference. By passing them along to others who need them, we help both families in need and our planet by avoiding the unnecessary production of additional sportswear.

This initiative reflects our commitment to making a tangible difference both for the environment and for local communities.

By taking responsibility together, we can drive positive change.
