Libraries may be becoming infrastructure for the circular economy. What if sustainability scales not by producing more efficient products - but by reducing how many products need to be owned in the first place? Researchers and administrators at Mainz University of Applied Sciences launched a "Library of Things" that allows students and staff to borrow practical equipment ranging from drills and sewing machines to GoPro cameras and camping gear. The initiative expands the role of a university library from information access to resource sharing. Key signals: • The library launched with 102 borrowable items • Equipment includes tools, electronics, outdoor gear, and creative project devices • Item selection was guided by student and staff surveys • The project incorporated recycled and repurposed materials into its design Why this matters: Many products are purchased for occasional use and remain idle most of the time. Access-based models can reduce consumption, lower costs, and improve resource utilization without reducing availability. What’s changing: From ownership → to shared access Universities may become important testing grounds for circular economy models where value is increasingly created through usage rather than possession. As sustainability pressures and living costs rise, resource-sharing systems could expand well beyond campuses into cities, workplaces, and public services. Could "Libraries of Things" eventually become as common as traditional libraries? #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #SharingEconomy #HigherEducation #LibraryInnovation #ResourceEfficiency #SustainableLiving #CommunityBuilding #FutureOfWork #Innovation #InnoDexis
