Through demonstration and education (at all levels), we want to inspire others to action, and to supporting their resilience and sustainability. This is to enable and foster prevention of waste, through reuse as much as possible. We want to enable and foster re-purposing of items for a new life and to operate as an exemplar product store and online presence. Included in this process is to
Develop employment and training opportunities to support those less fortunate
Relieve hardship and poverty
Collaborate with research institutions,
Have a safe and clean practice at our core
Prevent contact with, and re-circulation of hazardous materials
