WASTE INTO LIFESTYLE
MARKET UPDATE
Established in 2018, the Shanghai-based Remake Hub provides creative recycling solutions for transforming waste into lifestyle products, including fashion. It works with manufacturers, engineers, artists, architects, fashion designers and scientists to build cradle-to-cradle design methods that embrace the circular economy. Their core project is Remake Ocean, in which discarded fishing net from fishing companies and ocean cleanups is collected and remade into high-performance renewable polymers and products. This includes sunglasses by their sub-brand Refuture, whose entire production process is made transparent for customers through blockchain technology.
