Social Provincial Councilor Leonhard Schneemann Volkshilfe President Verena Dunst and Werner Aminger from the Burgenland Training Center BUZ presented the project on April 8th 2022.Today it is important to use existing resources in the best possible way. Resource consumption has tripled since the 1980s. We simply forgot how to recycle devices and everyday things. Thats why Im pleased that the Sonnenmarkt Oberwart together with the BUZ and the AMS is making sure that people who are not doing so well financially are given a helping hand and are expanding the offer said Leonhard Schneemann Social Provincial Councilor praising the initiative.Specifically it is about the RepaServ project founded in 2021 together with the AMS Burgenland. The aim of the project is not only the repair of electronic devices but also the reintegration of young adults into working life. In cooperation with the Burgenland waste association the ReUse network Burgenland and the Sonnenmarkt Oberwart broken electronic devices are repaired and then offered for sale in the Sonnenmarkt Oberwart.The Provincial Council also emphasized the need for sun markets Around 50000 Burgenlanders are at risk of poverty and unfortunately dependent on it. Corona has exacerbated the situation and we feel that very clearly. Poverty also hits hard-working people single parents or recipients of a minimum pension. You all deserve this offer.A positive side effect of this project is that it also creates jobs for young adults who are just entering the labor market. Despite the crisis Burgenland has developed well compared to the previous year. Down 26 percent unemployed in numbers 2600. Above all this shows that the states economic policy measures are taking effect and bearing fruit said the provincial councilor and The state of Burgenland needs every skilled worker and every company every project to create jobs.Helene Sengstbratl Managing Director of the AMS Burgenland We at the AMS are pleased to be able to make a small contribution to saving the world by commissioning RepaServ. If labor market policy and the recycling of discarded devices can be combined so elegantly that is an excellent measure.Since the start of the project around 370 small and 100 large electrical devices have been repaired and recycled. Thats around six tons of electronic waste that we were able to avoid with this project says Werner Aminger from the Burgenland Training Center BUZ. We will hold so-called Repair Cafs in the future. Here people can bring their devices to the Sonnencaf and watch how they are being repaired on site said Volkshilfe President Verena Dunst about further campaigns directly in the Sonnenmarkt Oberwart. The exact date will be announced. Device donations can currently be handed in at the Burgenland Training Center BUZ at the Neutal location.
