The whole world is striving with textile waste! Most circular economy-based action plans are mostly based on recycling and sorting and not repairing, re-making, re-using and sharing. How can we combine sustainability, circular economy and women empowering in one practical local and global plan? In today textile market, clothing and textile sales rises while clothing usage has steadily declined! While the cost of repair service is high, the number of service providers is also very limited and considering all thrift solutions, the majority of secondhand materials are still going to Lindfield while it can be used as material. And as the last leg of this international picture, today's available solutions are mostly based on recruiting service providers instead of giving them the opportunity to be the owner of their business which make the sustainability of those models strictly dependent on the those business owners instead of relying on the owners of the practical knowledge and craft. Repasdo is a marketplace for unique, creative services of textile and relevant secondhand materials. It’s home to people providing special, extraordinary services and products, from repaired pieces to handcrafted and vintage treasures. While today’s main trend is into secondhand shopping online solutions, Repasdo focus is to provide possibility to create ‘added value’ instead of pure thrift store business model. By providing business and market opportunity (online store + learning, low cost material & equipment) to potential service providers, secondhand textile can be repaired or be used as raw material for new product (in as many different ways as service providers can manage to come up with). Repasdo Platform (as the first in its market) is to provide a platform for creating jobs, micro and small businesses (own by service providers) while providing practical learning and access to different type of secondhand textile as material and online stores as places for those businesses to thrive. We are three co-founders with background in strategic business and organizational development, application and software development, and fashion design and learning. In addition two of us have long years of experience in humanitarian aid organizations and woman empowering programs. We have strong believe in sustainability and circularity not in relation with of product and service, but as the sole practical concept and business model

Vad är bra med regnkläder? Vad är dåligt? Alla har ett förhållande till regn och att bli blöt. Alla har ett behov att kunna hålla sig torr, men man vill att det skall vara smidigt, praktiskt och utseende skall passa in i den miljön man befinner sig i. Jag ser möjligheter att kunna göra det bättre. Att skapa en bättre regnig upplevelse. Det finns många regnplagg på marknaden, för olika tillfällen, tekniska för friluftslivet eller designade för stadslivet. Jag har tagit fram regnkläder som är både stiliga och med praktiska funktioner för stadslivet. Plagg för de tillfällen då det regnar och för de som inte blev av. Genomtänkta lösningar för enkelhet och bekvämlighet. Målet är att göra det lite enklare att välja en mer hållbar livstil även vid sämre väderlek. Parkera bilen, gå eller cykla för din hälsa och miljön. Problemet att man blir blöt är inte att det regnar utan man inte har på sig regnskydd. Regnbyxor tycker man är krångliga att ta på och av sig. I regnplagg blir man varm och svettig och man upplever att det är besvärligt att ta med sig. Det gör att man chansar att man inte blir så blöt eller att regnet håller upp. Många gånger så glömmer man regnplagget hemma och når sitt mål med blöta, kalla byxor. Mina lösningar är så enkla att ta med sig, att du inte ens funderar på att chansa. Och gentemot dagens regnplagg minskar de risken för att du skall bli för varm. De är enkla att ta på och av och de finns där när du behöver dem. Produkterna jag utvecklar är för både när du promenerar eller cyklar allt för att hjälpa dig att hålla dig torr och glad. Jag har utvecklat tre olika plagg och låtit sy upp funktionsprotoyper som jag har verifierat. Varav enbart en modell har jag valt att gå vidare med för tillfället, p.g.a av kostnad och tid. Nyfikenheten i att starta eget har alltid funnits i bakhuvudet på mig. En utmaning där drivkraften är att få arbeta med sina egna visioner och mål.
 Flexibilitet med arbetstider och lokalisering lokalisering med att driva ett eget internet baserat företag ser jag som en väldigt bra fördel. En flytt tillbaka hem till Halmstad och nya förutsättningar gjorde att jag vågade satsa. Jag hade olika produktideér som jag funderade på. Att jag valde just regnplagg var mer en tillfällighet, men ändå inte! Gång- och cykelbanorna i Halmstad ger en bra framkomlighet för cyklister och fotgängare. Det är viktigt för mig att kunna minska min miljöpåverkan. Bilen fick stå - även vid sämre väderlek. Istället blev det med cykel eller till fots fram och tillbaka till olika aktiviter och dagis. På många sätt en skön känsla. Frisk luft, vardagsmotion, minskad miljöpåverkan och mindre kostnad för bränsle till bilen. När det regnar kan det ta emot och kännas lite besvärligt att bege sig ut. Jag möter ofta blöta människor som blivit överraskade av regnet. Jag vill minska detta hinder och göra det mindre besvärligt. Min önskan är att utveckla nya produkter med nära samarbete med användarna för att nå bästa resultat och att hela tiden utmana affärsidén för att skapa möjligheter att bli mer och mer miljövänligare. //Malin
