TOPIC: RECYCLING (27)
Hipcycle
http://hipcycle.comOur goal here at Hipcycle is to offer upcycled products that are as attractive, durable, and otherwise as desirable as traditional equivalent products (if not more so). We also strive to offer products that are priced about the same as regular high-quality products. We don’t feel that just because something is a “green” product that is means you have to make a choice between helping the environment and getting what you want.
Smart Deco
http://www.smartdecofurniture.comSmartDeco is affordable, beautifully designed, professionally engineered, 100% recyclable furniture that folds together in minutes without the use of tools.
Grocycle
http://grocycle.comGroCycle is a project launched by Fungi Futures CIC, an innovative social enterprise based in Devon, UK.
We have been growing Oyster mushrooms from waste coffee grounds since 2011, and are still hugely inspired by the scale of the opportunity. We also know that we want to spread the idea further, so we have created the GroCycle Urban Mushroom Farm to test our ideas, and have designed an easy to use Mushroom Grow Kit to enable you to grow your own gourmet mushrooms at home from waste coffee grounds. We hope you enjoy the process!
Urban Hubs
http://urbanhubs.coUrban Hubs are 3D printed recycle bins for bottles and cans. They connect together with a modular design which allows you to use them in sets or one at a time. The goal is to raise awareness and have a positive impact on neighborhood recycling rates.
Snact
http://www.snact.co.ukWe make fruit snacts from fruit surplus to act on food waste.
Tonnes of perfectly good fruit get thrown away in the UK before reaching shops. We turn that surplus into healthy snacts that contribute to one of your five a day. But a better food system is also about the people involved in it, so as we grow, we plan to employ people who’ve been affected by food poverty to help us make and sell our snacts.
