Nature is asking that we (need to) change our consumerism. BEVAR is looking specifically into our habits about clothes. Consumption of clothes has increased rapidly in Western societies, resulting in a massive textile material stream which creates environmental problems. The textile industry is the second worst industry when it comes to causing environmental problems, only preceded by the oil and gas production. These
problems are in large part due to the habits of the consumer. A piece of clothing is only used for at the very short time and is usually thrown out way before the actual end of its lifetime. BEVAR has been working for at a couple of years trying to expand the time of use. We have been concentrating on the challenge concerning the waste of jeans. They are causing tremendous problems because of an extreme use of water, chemicals and transportation in producing them.
Out of wasted jeans, BEVAR has been creating new products. E.g. pillows, aprons and potholders. Employed and involved in the upcycling-process has been “fleksjobvisiterede” (fellow citizens that for different reasons are not able to work full time, and will have a contract that e.g. gives them a salary for 4 hours work every week in addition to governmental support). The actual workplace is situated in a socially and economically challenged area in Denmark.
BEVAR is a social enterprise, registered as such in Denmark.

Resen Waves is the first company in the World to provide continuous power and real-time data connectivity to autonomous instruments and machinery in the sea, as a plug and play solution. It is now possible to access instruments in real-time through smart phones or web applications, no matter where the instruments are located in the big oceans. Electric power is no more a limitation. Until now instruments and machinery in the sea have been powered by batteries, PV or diesel generators, which require regular ship operations to replace batteries or maintain diesel generators, which is costly and not always possible due to bad weather. This means that the power usage have had to be limited. Economizing power is normally done by cutting back on data transmission, which limits the applications of the instruments. All these draw backs are effectively solved by installing a Resen Waves Power Buoy in the sea, where the power and data connectivity is required, as a plug-and-play solution. Read more (data sheet).

Putting it simply; at Specialisterne, not fitting in is a good thing. The traits that usually exclude people with autism from the labor market are the very traits that make them valuable employees at Specialisterne; such as attention to detail, zero-fault tolerance and a persistence to get the job done. We do not see them as people with an autism diagnosis; rather, we see them as true specialists, which is why we refer to them as “specialist people”. Imagine a world where someone who was once defined by their diagnosis, would instead be defined as a “specialist person” ? At the core of Specialisterne is a five-month assessment program where candidates with autism go through different exercises, tasks and work situations. This assessment program helps our staff to see past the diagnosis to the candidate’s real personality, skill-set and potential. Specialisterne’s goal is to help 1000 people with autism into the Danish labor market by 2025. People who are currently outside the labor market. We are working for inclusion. We believe that all people are entitled to a dignified and meaningful life.
