Our Beliefs


We believe in...

✴Contributing to social good

We’re a certified social enterprise, educating and advocating for reuse, repair and upcycling to inspire behaviour change toward practices that support environmental sustainability.  

✴Re-use, repair, repurpose

The era of take, use, dispose is over.  We must be responsible for creating less, using less and disposing of less. The future is circular use of resources – let’s re-use, repair and re-purpose.

✴Diverting waste from landfill

We’re on a mission to divert as many used resources from landfill as possible - it’s an environmental imperative. 

We work hard and smart to upcycle 90% of waste resources that come our way, finding secondary uses for materials that are not used in primary products.

✴Driving the circular economy

We’ve been at the forefront of circular practice since 2015; re-using, repairing and upcycling to give used materials a second life.  

We exist to influence others to embrace circularity - by thinking ahead to what they will do with a product/resource once it reaches end of life.

Our upcycling services enable businesses to embed circular practices in what they do.

✴Creating beautiful things

It’s possible to make beautiful things from resources discarded as waste.  Design is in our DNA.  Our creative team are skilled at assessing a medium prior to developing a new design, to ensure a functional, durable and beautiful outcome.

✴Local employment

The circular economy shouldn’t rely on volunteers to make it sustainable. With clever thinking and planning, we’ve created inspiring employment opportunities that provide immense job satisfaction, pay a modest wage, and instil staff with new transferrable skills.
