Greenmans Monthly Press November 2023

Jenny has the floor

Hello everyone,
First, a big and heartfelt thank you from the bottom of my heart for your wonderful support, all the beautiful flowers, and kind words that were sent our way when our founder Jörgen, my dad, unfortunately left us atthe end of August.
It has understandably been a different time, but three months later, it’s still very reassuring to hear from many of you that our service and deliveries have been working smoothly as usual.
We continue to work with sustainability in focus. In early November, it was 32 years since the company was founded, and here we still are, and plan so remain.
I chuckled a bit earlier this year when I was at a fair with a chain and was asked by one of the former CEOs in the chain, ”What’s new this year, Jenny?” ”Well,” I said, ”we continue to focus on sustainability, this year too, but it’s great to see more joining in.” The theme of the fair was sustainability, evident in most booths where the predominant color theme was green.
Are you keeping up with the sustainability talk?
Those of you who have endured my toner discussions have probably heard me hum and play the 3 R’s by Jack Johnson. The song emphasizes Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Nowadays, those at the forefront of sustainability have also started using a fourth R, namely Repair. Soon, I’ll be picking up several pair of pants that have been fixed by a seamstress so they can last a bit longer, instead of buying new ones for myself and my children.
Last monday was Circular Monday, sustainability’s response to Black Friday. Of course, it’s great to find deals on Black Friday. Read more below about how #CircularMonday came about.
I am so proud and grateful for my colleagues here at Greenman who give their best every day to provide you with the best possible service.
Yesterday, some of us were att a lunchevent with lectures. Imagine our pride and joy when we won the Enviromental Company of the year in Norrköping. Read more below.
Thank you for trusting us to be your partner in choosing a greener alternative!
Remember, we are here for you! The Greenman team. Greenman, the Greener choice since 1991.
Now, I wish you a continued lovely November and a cozy start to Advent, which is just around the corner!

With warm regards,
Jenny Wonisch

We introduce Niklas.

Niklas started working at Greenman even before it was called Greenman.
He is not only our warehouse manager but also the person responsible for our systems, with a passionate interest in technology, processes, and logistics. He loves to share vivid stories from his past as a competitive swimmer, trampoline jumper, musician, and the time he ran a mile very fast during military service. If you ever have some time to spare, be sure to ask him about any of these experiences.
In the past, it was common for Niklas to bring out his guitar during after-work gatherings. We hope that will happen again soon.
During his free time, Niklas enjoys spending time with his family, including his partner, two teenage daughters, Tilda and Elvira, an energetic 5-year-old named Otto, and a French Bulldog named Vera. In the summer, they often take the boat out, and when autumn arrives, they visit many secret mushroom spots, of course, GPS-tagged.

What is Circular Monday?

It all began in 2017 when 25-year-old Malmö resident Henning Gillberg felt that there was too much focus on indulging in discounts during Black Friday. He wondered why more people weren’t talking about more sustainable alternatives when shopping. The answer became White Monday, later transformed into Circular Monday—a kind of counteraction to all the new purchases—and takes place on the Monday before Black Friday.
During Circular Monday, the emphasis is on circular consumption, and companies are encouraged to only have offers related to second-hand items, repair services, recycling, and rentals. All items sold must be repairable or made from 100 percent recycled materials. This special day, which began to gain attention in Sweden, has now spread to 23 countries, with over 500 participating companies and organizations, referred to as ”buddies.”
