00:01.321 --> 00:03.081
If food waste was a country,

2
00:03.161 --> 00:07.601
it would have been the country responsible
for the most CO2 after the US and China.

3
00:07.681 --> 00:11.001
Just as important as the actual product,

4
00:11.081 --> 00:16.521
is the fact that
it is a durable product that lasts.

5
00:16.601 --> 00:20.841
SUSTAINABLE ENTERPRISE
IN REALITY

6
00:24.241 --> 00:25.961
My name is Magdalena Holm.

7
00:26.041 --> 00:27.441
I work for Essem Design.

8
00:27.961 --> 00:30.361
Essem Design was founded in 2002.

9
00:30.441 --> 00:36.160
We develop and market sustainable
and functional hallway furniture.

10
00:36.241 --> 00:38.561
There are multiple aspects
to sustainability.

11
00:38.641 --> 00:41.041
It's not just about the product itself.

12
00:41.120 --> 00:45.001
It's also about
the life-cycle perspective.

13
00:45.080 --> 00:48.241
It's important that
the product lasts a long time.

14
00:48.321 --> 00:51.881
We offer
a ten year warranty on our products.

15
00:51.961 --> 00:56.881
But we want our products
to last a lot longer than that.

16
00:58.641 --> 01:01.601
My name is Truls
and I work for Rscued in Helsingborg.

17
01:01.681 --> 01:04.361
We started everything in 2015

18
01:04.441 --> 01:06.561
with a little fruit rescue factory.

19
01:06.641 --> 01:09.241
We make juices, shots, smoothies,

20
01:09.321 --> 01:12.721
which are sold in cafes, restaurants
and shops all over Sweden.

21
01:13.041 --> 01:15.681
The challenge of running
a sustainable business,

22
01:15.761 --> 01:18.841
is to make it both environmentally
and financially sustainable.

23
01:18.921 --> 01:20.921
It took us seven years to master that.

24
01:21.001 --> 01:22.841
Now we have succeeded.

25
01:24.921 --> 01:26.761
Circularity is super important to us.

26
01:26.841 --> 01:29.241
We make sure that
fruit and vegetables come to us.

27
01:29.321 --> 01:33.441
A wholesaler might have some produce
where some of it is going off.

28
01:33.521 --> 01:35.521
It needs to be discarded, but we take it.

29
01:35.761 --> 01:38.761
Sometimes growers have beetroots
as large as handballs

30
01:38.841 --> 01:42.241
They can't be sold like that,
so we turn them into crisps.

31
01:42.321 --> 01:45.881
Circularity is our focus.

32
01:47.961 --> 01:52.561
Efficient use of resources
and sustainability is in our DNA.

33
01:52.641 --> 01:55.201
In the past
it was all about profitability,

34
01:55.281 --> 01:59.001
but what was profitable
was also good for the environment.

35
01:59.081 --> 02:02.001
We are saving resources everywhere.

36
02:02.081 --> 02:06.121
Saving raw materials
means saving energy.

37
02:06.201 --> 02:13.041
We try to save space. What makes
environmental sense, also saves money.

38
02:13.881 --> 02:16.401
Food waste is
one of our largest climate problems.

39
02:16.481 --> 02:21.921
It feels amazing to be able
to do something about that problem.

40
02:22.001 --> 02:23.841
We take care of 400 tonnes.

41
02:23.921 --> 02:27.321
That is a fair amount
and that feels good.

42
02:27.401 --> 02:29.041
We want to think long term.

43
02:29.121 --> 02:33.041
Both when it comes to products
and suppliers.

44
02:33.441 --> 02:36.401
We give and take and help one another.

45
02:36.481 --> 02:40.441
We develop one another,
which has a positive effect,

46
02:40.521 --> 02:44.681
both for the environment
and for profitability.

02:44.761 --> 02:47.681
