Rethinking Waste

This collective is all about maximizing the use of materials and minimizing waste! We focus on Repair, Reuse, Rehome, Refurbish, Refuse, Reduce, Rot, and Recycle—basically, rethinking how we approach everything! Volunteers are keen to discover and try out ways to turn one way lines of production into circular transactions within our community. One step at a time.

" Waste isn't waste until you waste it. Up until that point it's a material "
