A circular economy design hub and social enterprise

We believe that moving away from a linear economy is already a reality, but it will take more than just reducing, reusing and recycling.

We aim to carve pathways for individuals and organisations to participate in the circular economy.

Who We Are

What We Do

  • Rethink

    Making product and resource use more intensive

    Extending the lifespan of existing products requires knowledge and data. In order to change perceptions as far up the value chain as possible, we aim to facilitate informed decision-making in product development, planning and usage.

  • Repurpose

    Using discarded products and its parts in a new product with a different function

    As a direct response to the waste problem, we find new ways to reimagine material uses and share what we learn openly to encourage upcycling locally.

  • Regenerate

    Improving a place or system so that it is active or producing again

    We are continually looking for ways to rely on what already exists, finding alternative means to attain resources necessary for survival

NOT JUST A SHOP. A SOCIAL ENTERPRISE.

The linear economy ("take-make-waste") is a design flaw. At The Interchange, we are rewriting the code. Every product you buy from our shop funds our research. Every workshop you attend supports our community outreach. We are proving that a sustainable future isn't just possible, it's capable of being built, right here, right now.
