The Eco-Design Center has many names depending on who you talk to – productivity workshops, upcycled design center, recycling workshops, etc. but what doesn’t change with the name is the commitment to transformation that the area represents. Yes, upcycling of glass, plastic, fabrics and other items all happen in the eco-design center but beyond this material transformation is that of the people that work there everyday and those that come through. Real lives, real stories of transformation are embodied in our staff and this special spirit weaves its way into our products and our presentations.
