# Taschen-Tausch-Station 3.0: Open-source project for more reuse in everyday life



The "Taschen-Tausch-Station 3.0" ("Bag-Exchange-Station") is an open, 3D-printable and customizable station for shopping bags. The idea is simple: anyone who has too many clean bags at home can place them in the station. Anyone who spontaneously needs a bag can take one for free. This keeps bags in circulation for longer, saves resources and helps prevent waste.


## Why is this exciting for makers?



For makers, the Bag Exchange Station is a concrete way to create real local impact with 3D printing. Individual printed parts become a visible reuse infrastructure for everyday life — in shops, libraries, schools, associations, municipalities, neighborhoods or public institutions. Makerspaces, FabLabs, repair cafés, open workshops and committed individuals can print station parts, support assembly, share knowledge and help people locally set up their own stations.
