How can waste be repurposed into something new to protect the environment in the process? The special exhibition "It's Going in Circles – Circular Systems Instead of Waste" explores this crucial question from June 23 through January 10, 2027 at the Museum of Humans and Nature in Munich.

The exhibition focuses on what is known as the ‘circular economy’: put simply, this means that materials are not thrown away after a relatively short period of use, but are repaired or recycled, ideally without harming the environment. At the same time, this context also encourages us to rethink our own consumption habits.

To this end, various stations have been set up at the Museum of Man and Nature to illustrate the principle of the circular economy. For example, you can design your own sustainable trainers, try out different ways of sorting waste and even get a glimpse of a circular future. Guided tours, talks and other activities will also give you plenty of ideas on how to avoid waste and recycle raw materials.

The exhibition is a joint project of the German Federal Environmental Foundation (DBU) and VDI Technologiezentrum GmbH. The DBU is one of Europe's largest foundations. It promotes innovative exemplary environmental protection projects with particular emphasis on medium-sized businesses. The DBU is committed to contributing to the solution of current environmental challenges.

Exhibition runs through January 10, 2027
