Borås is the largest e-trade city in Sweden and the Nordic countries. Strong growth regarding population and industry puts demand on proactive close cooperation.
The City is heavily dependent on logistic competence and development connected to national and international networks. Key areas are high capacity transports, resource minimizing, electrification, digitalisation and urban logistics, all with close cooperation between municipality, industry and public.
Key Challenge
The city is growing dynamically and putting pressure on new districts, busy city centres and increasing commercial traffic. This requires efficient and sustainable solutions for both distribution and return traffic.
Piloted Solutions
In September 2025, Borås opened its first MoLo Hubs pilot Returpunkten, a mobility hub where parcel services, waste management, reuse, and community activities converge. Returpunkten functions also as a social hub, connecting residents, encouraging reuse, and fostering conversations about local needs and sustainable living. It stands as a prime example of how urban logistics can serve both people and sustainability.
The hub offers following services:
- Drop off small items
- Find bargains among items that deserve a second chance via “Returchansen”
- Sort waste easily
- Pick up and drop off parcels conveniently
- Get information about sustainable circularity

Interesting, exciting and rewarding activities for the project partners of the pilot area in Borås during their field visit in Stockholm.
The dream of Borås is the collective name for a series of activities that the City of Borås, Borås City Association and the Property Owners' Center in Borås hold to develop the city centre.
