Question 1

Why give?

Accepted Answer

- Donating bicycles to companies like Vélo SF makes it possible to recover components, equipment and even complete bicycles before they are sent for scrap. In 2022, it is important to ask questions before throwing away items. “CAN I FIX IT? - CAN I FIND A USE FOR IT? - CAN I GIVE IT TO SOMEBODY? 
​
- The company Vélo SF disassembles the bicycles and separates the reusable elements from the recyclable ones. Bicycles are then completed from recovered components. In addition, it is possible to repair customer bikes from second-hand parts. The customer therefore participates in the circular economy while saving dollars.

Question 2

Circular economy?

Accepted Answer

By focusing on the optimized use of resources at each stage in the life of a product or service, the circular economy seeks to reduce their impact on the planet. It concerns production, exchanges and consumption as much as reuse, and prioritizes the reduction of the environmental footprint while participating in the wealth of the social fabric.
​
Its circular operation aims to break with the linear economy, where the use of a product or service is punctuated by losses and results in the end of the life cycle of a good or service. It also aims to optimize the resources already in circulation, whether by giving them a second life or by increasing the durability of their components — which comes with its share of challenges, but also advantages.
