where does all our stuff go? learn how local innovators recycle, upcycle, replace, and reuse the goods we buy
One person’s garbage is another one’s gold. See the eco-friendly places where salvaged goods, from housewares, appliances, and building materials, to furniture, clothes, books, and other oddities are being collected and repurposed.
The products that we create and use place enormous strain on our environment, just in their creation alone. The result is excess waste and pollution in the life cycle of development, extraction, production, distribution, consumption, and disposal.
Meet the innovators who are responsible for keeping tons of reusable materials out of the landfill, and experience how waste is transformed into valuable products through creative reuse and recycling.
This tour includes visits to places involved in the materials economy that upcycle, recycle, replace, and reduce waste. We will visit transfer stations, salvage operations, and other businesses that are using innovative models throughout the lifecycle of the goods we buy.
