May I introduce to you Nordwerk recyclingDESIGN from Dresden, Germany? You are wondering what they do? Honestly spoken, what they do … is garbage.

Ok, garbage is not a product at all and certainly none you would spend money for. Everybody knows garbage is something one should reduce and not produce. So, how can a garbage-producing company be a green Startup?   

The secret is called upcycling. Upcycling is the process of converting waste materials or useless products into new materials or products of better quality or for better environmental value.

Nordwerk recyclingDESIGN produces furniture, exhibition stand construction and any special designs made of recycled materials - primarily from used corrugated cardboard.

But you will be surprised to know that there are people all over the world that are saying exactly the opposite of it. This is, also, the story of two partners that recently opened an online shop with handmade things, and a part of those things are made from recycled materials, such as: paper (newspapers, magazines), plastic, cans, glasses, etc. Even if they are at the beginning of the road, they have faith that will succed in this domain, in a country such as Romania.

The first re-use centre in the heart of Europe - Czech republic

Do you have at home things you do not like anymore, but they can still be used you do not want to throw them away? Do you have at home some old functional furniture that needs new design and you do not know how to make it? Bring it to Zdrojovna!

ZDROJOVNA is a beginning community centre and recycling workroom. It is based on the idea that a part of society lives in lack, while the rest abounds with surplus. Because when things still serve, they should not be considered as waste. Zdrojovna wants to contribute to better balance with making a place suitable for remodeling of different things that would have ended up in a scrap yard, attic, cellar or in a bin.
