Circular economy
This page bundles information about various circular economy items. It mainly links to other pages where more information can be found on how to tag those. This way, the information stays in one place and there is no need to update many wiki pages if a change is needed.
Note that most items can use default tags such as image=*, name=*, opening_hours=*, Address, contact information. Those will not be repeated here.
This page is forked from WikiProject CircularEconomy, as some contributors were not agreeing on how to manage this page. Not forking would end in a flame war.
Shop offers products without packaging
See bulk_purchase=*, zero_waste=*, reusable_packaging:accept=* and reusable_packaging:offer=*
Self repair workshops and repair Cafés
Please see the main article about repair cafés and repair=assisted_self_service
Lending facilities
See amenity=tool_library, amenity=bicycle_library and rental=*
Second-hand shops and freeshops
There are a few ways of marking second-hand shops:
- Use shop=* with second_hand=yes or second_hand=only. This can be used for a shop specializing in a certain type of goods, e.g. shop=clothes. Note that second_hand=limited is possible for e.g. a car garage which also resells some cars.
- Use shop=charity to indicate a charity store, e.g. Oxfam stores, Red Cross stores, ...
- Use shop=second_hand to indicate a shop selling various second-hand items.
One can add fee=no or fee=donation to indicate give-away shops and/or shops working with a free donation.
Give-away boxes
See amenity=public_bookcase, amenity=food_sharing and amenity=give_box
Recycling, waste containers, compost and container centers
For places who just recover materials or products, please use recycling=* instead - this includes compost.
Local food products and production
Allotment gardens
See landuse=allotments for allotment gardens (sometimes also referred to as community gardens).
Individual trees
Trees can be mapped with natural=tree. foraging=yes indicates that the fruit can be harvested, but is currently practically unused. self_harvesting=* for farms or fields where some form of self-harvesting is allowed.
Places where local produce is sold
Markets, farmshops, milk and food vending machines and other direct markets... This german project can be taken as an example (data are in OpenStreetMap, website is using an open-source project):
shop=farm, amenity=marketplace or amenity=vending_machine
Additinal tags such as vending=* (e.g. vending=milk, vending=food) to specify what is sold, organic=yes and organic=only to indicate biological certification.
