Suomi Areena is approaching and Second Hand Tampere is getting ready!

Published: 20.06.2025

On Thursday, the Second Hand Tampere's diamond group of speakers will climb onto the MTV stage at SuomiAreena! You can expect interesting perspectives and good humour around important issues!

Welcome to follow the debate live in Pori and on streaming and TV. After the live part we will gather in a nearby tented campsite to continue the story, so welcome to the rest!!!

As the live debate progresses, a work of art is created on stage ROSKAPRESSA by BCEnsemble. The work is a portrait of a future president created from recycled materials based on an AI sketch.

The discussion at Suomiareena will be led by Kristiina Paananen from the Second Hand Tampere Association. The following people will participate in the discussion:

”The worst competitor for repair services is not another repair service or shoemaker, but a fast-fashion company.”
- Elina Korri, Creative Director of Sustinare Oy and designer of the MEA upcycle studio clothing collection

”When the billions of capital sleeping in the circular economy are mobilised, the extension of the life cycle of products will almost entirely remain in the Finnish economy.
-Timo Huhtamäki, EU Climate Envoy, Emmy Second Hand Chair.

”A large proportion of Finns buy from flea markets, but few sell, which makes it difficult to circulate the goods”
- Lauri Putila, Kirpputorit24 Founder and Marketing Director

”The circular economy is badly branded. The consumer must not only assume the role of a buyer, but also that of a steward, seller or renter.”
- Ines Kaivonen, PhD researcher in marketing, University of Tampere

”The long product lifecycle path starts with design and material selection.” - Lauri Järvinen, Pispala Clothing Chief Designer
