European Week for Waste Prevention 22 - 30.11.2025
The European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR) is an annual week of action held in November with the aim of presenting the issue of sustainable use of our world's resources to the European public through a variety of activities to raise awareness of waste prevention.
Where: Student House TUSCULUM, August-Bebel-Straße 12
What : You can bring the following items for exchange: pants, skirts, sweaters, T-shirts, shirts and shoes in good condition - without damage or stains and washed. Please do not bring more than eight items of clothing per person .
What not: Any type of underwear, stockings and clothing in poor or unwashed condition.
Background: Every year, Germany "exports" over 460,000 tons of used clothing, which corresponds to 5.5 kilograms per capita. This makes Germany the world's largest producer of used clothing after the USA (source: Federal Statistical Office). With a clothes swap party, you can do good and give your wardrobe and style a new lease of life.
Meeting point: Foyer of the Seminar Building II, Zellescher Weg 22
Due to construction work, relocations, new equipment, etc., items are often no longer needed or used - they are discarded. The majority, especially cupboards, desks, tables and chairs, are sent to an interim storage facility for further use, from where they can be transferred to other structural units within TU Dresden (relocation). Find the right thing for your rooms during the tour!

Repair, reuse, conserve resources - Saxony's repair and reuse initiatives show what the circular economy can look like in practice.
