Second Hand Tampere is a community that brings together second hand operators in Tampere and Pirkanmaa - from flea markets and boutiques to sewing factories, shoemakers and recycling centres.
As an association, we form a network of small businesses whose strength comes from community and working together. For example, we implement the Second Hand Tampere map and the Tavara-aseman Second Hand event.
The Second Hand Tampere island map will lead you to second hand finds and repair and maintenance services!

Matkus Luuppi is a circular economy centre where a shopping centre, sorting station, and training centre form a unique entity. A new kind of ecosystem where reuse is prioritised.
Read the guest post by Elävä Kauppa Oy's CEO, Satu Takkinen, from the blog:
As a member, you contribute to the future of the circular economy!
The association forms a network of circular economy entrepreneurs in a way that has never been seen before in Finland. Companies, associations or other actors in the circular economy can apply for corporate membership!
Sustaining membership for individuals is an opportunity to support and participate!
The more our association reaches out to the members involved, the better our collective voice in the second hand sector will be heard and the better our chance to grow and make a difference.
Second Hand Tampere ry will organise the Tavara-asema Second Hand event in the future!
For the first time, an event organised solely by the Second Hand Tampere association was a great success, with a record number of both business operators and visitors in attendance.
WHAT? Second Hand is a free access event created for recycling quality clothing and second-hand treasures, featuring circular economy-themed businesses, private flea markets and workshops.
