Handmade and recycled products
The Uusix Shop sells interior design items, practical household goods, gifts, jewellery and accessories made in the adult work activities. Most products are crafted from recycled or surplus materials. Each unique item reflects inventiveness, craftsmanship and the joy of learning.
The Fillari-myymälä bike shop sells recycled and refurbished bicycles, mostly recovered from Heka’s cleaned-up bike sheds. Spare parts are also available for those who enjoy repairing their own bikes.
At the PC Shop, clients can find laptops discarded by the City of Helsinki and refurbished at the Digipaja recycling centre. The shop also sells computer parts, such as monitors, cables and sometimes even printers.
The furniture shop offers items such as office chairs, desks, filing cabinets and lobby furniture, all discarded by different City divisions. The furniture is washed and refurbished as part of adult work activities.
All products at the Uusix Market are manufactured or repaired in the adult work activities. These activities are aimed at supporting long-term unemployed people who face challenges in entering the labour market. By shopping at the Uusix Market, you contribute to local social work and help make Helsinki more sustainable.
