New department store in Ludwigsfelde: recycling and bargains combined!

Potsdamer Straße 55, 14974 Ludwigsfelde, Deutschland - On June 1st, the "House of Little Prices" opened in Ludwigsfelde, another mainstay of the solidarity department store of the Ludwigsfeld Association for Social Management in Brandenburg (Solbra). The new location is located in the former KIK branch at Potsdamer Straße 55 and expands the existing range of second-hand goods. But what exactly does customers expect in the new business?

The offer in the newly opened shop mainly includes shoes and textiles and uses two sales and work areas, which also means that the existing shop at Potsdamer Straße 57a remains open and that furniture, technology and household goods sell.

a strong network for the environment and society

This initiative not only benefits the environment, but also emphasizes the importance of the separate collection of textile waste. From January 1, 2025, the separation of separation for textiles in Germany is in force, which means that 50 percent of the waste must be recycled. A challenge that is not only limited to Lünen and Brandenburg, but also larger cities such as Riga, where the residents have demonstrably saved more than 14 million euros by sorting waste in 2022.

A look at the borders - waste avoidance as a common goal

in Ludwigfelde like in Riga there are efforts to improve waste management. For the Lithuanians, this means that the recycling of packaging and glass waste has increased and more and more households are able to reduce their waste management costs. "With special containers for recyclable materials and new measures to promote waste separation, our goal is to exceed the EU average values ​​in separate waste management," reports the Riga City Ordinance.

The amount of textile waste in Germany was 175,000 tons in 2023, an increase of 55 percent compared to 2013. These figures show that it is becoming increasingly important not to dispose of old clothes and used textiles via the residual waste, but to recycle them. A responsibility that everyone bears.

The opening times of the "House of Small Prices" are flexible: the textile shop is open from Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The furniture, technology and household goods shop remains closed on Saturdays, but is also accessible in the same hours from Monday to Friday. So the citizens have enough opportunity to buy sustainably and not only save money, but also to do something good for the environment.

For those who are looking for bargains or a new favorite piece, a visit to the "House of Small Prices" is worthwhile - a step in the right direction for a responsible and environmentally conscious consumer posture.
