Circular Quest offers an exciting scavenger hunt that introduces participants to the world of the circular economy through interactive and local explorations. Through playful elements and hands-on tasks, participants learn about the principles of the circular economy and understand how they can apply them in their daily lives and jobs. Circular Quest not only promotes awareness of sustainable practices, but also provides a platform for networking and collaboration between different actors and communities.
Circular Quest will start as a pilot project in Olten from September 2024. This pilot will allow us to test the concept in a real-life setting and gather valuable feedback from participants to further improve the experience. Olten was chosen as the ideal location for the launch due to its central location, diverse local initiatives and strong community involvement.
Discover the city of Olten in a fun way and learn about the principles of the circular economy. The Circular Quest starts at the train station and takes you through various stations where you can explore innovative approaches to resource conservation and waste avoidance. Along the way, you will discover exciting initiatives, find out how waste is turned into valuable raw materials and learn how each of us can make a contribution to sustainability. The trail ends at the Werkhof, where you can delve deeper into the circular economy.
