At one station you put everyday products on a mock supermarket checkout, the DisScounter. Scan them and the till shows two costs: the price, and the environmental cost of a product made to be thrown away.

The Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt built this touring show, partly from recycled and recyclable materials, and it first ran in Osnabrück. It moves from why buying and binning drains resources, to designing things for a loop, to who has to act. You design a sneaker on screen that fits into a loop, try different ways of sorting waste and argue at a rotating table printed with questions. A section called Visit to the Future introduces five people and companies already working this way.

It is pitched at families and school classes rather than specialists. An AI audio guide answers questions in eight languages, English included. Under-18s get into the museum free and the desk takes cash only. On 30 October a Repair Café runs in the museum from 14:00 to 18:00.

Look for

  • The DisScounter checkout

    Scan everyday products at a mock supermarket till and it shows their environmental cost next to the price.

  • The sneaker designer

    Design a sneaker on screen with one rule: it has to go back into a loop rather than into the bin.

  • The waste-sorting station

    Take the recycler's side and try out different methods of separating waste.

  • The rotating table

    A turning table printed with statements and questions about the circular economy, built for arguing it out with whoever you came with.

  • Visit to the Future

    Five people and companies already running circular projects, presented as a look ahead.

Skip if

You want natural-history specimens: this is interactive stations about consumption and recycling.

With kids

Under-18s get in free, and under-12s must come with an adult. Kids design a sneaker and sort waste; the ReparaturParcours workshop (soldering, bike and textile repair) is for ages 12 and up.
