New Platform Ortskundich: Bielefeld promotes local providers sustainably

The city of Bielefeld has taken an important step towards sustainability and regional product funding. With the introduction of a new online platform called "Ortskundich", a digital marketplace was launched, which offers the Bielefelders the opportunity to discover and acquire sustainable and locally produced goods and services.

What makes the platform special is their commitment to provide users detailed information about the products offered. The regional guide gives consumers extensive knowledge of the production, cultivation and packaging of the products. This transparency is an important step to gain the trust of the buyers and to underline the quality of the goods.

Various offers from 50 providers

Currently around 50 providers are already active on “Ortskundich”. The range ranges from fresh food to handmade products. Users can browse in different categories, which makes it easier to search for certain goods. The platform not only promotes local companies, but also offers a wide range of products that meet the demands of consumers for quality and sustainability.

An important aspect of the website is the possibility for providers to list their goods on the platform. However, in order to be included in the digital marketplace, you must meet certain criteria. This includes proof of a organic seal, the sale of fairest products, as well as the guarantee of regional origin and climate-friendly production. These requirements ensure that only high -quality and sustainable goods are offered.

a growing network for sustainability

"Ortskundich" has the potential to change Bielefeld's shopping behavior. Thanks to the focus on regional products, the platform supports local farmers and craftsmen and at the same time contributes to reducing the CO2 footprint. At a time when consumers are increasingly paying attention to the origin and environmental compatibility of their purchases, this marketplace offers a valuable answer to these needs.

The city of Bielefeld plans to continuously expand "local". It is expected that many other providers will be added in the future, which will continue to grow the range of sustainable products. This initiative not only promotes the local trade, but also sensitizes the population for the importance of sustainability and environmental protection.
