UpcycleCHQ Maker Pilot Program is a community-driven maker initiative focused on turning reusable materials into real products and opportunities.
We’re activating local makers wherever they are and connecting them with reusable materials like:
Selected makers will create reusable products such as:
– Reusable bags
-Storage items
-Simple sewn products
other practical reusable products
This is about more than reuse.
It’s about exploring:
Reusable materials are gathered from businesses, organizations, and community members.
Local makers sign up and receive access to reusable materials and pilot opportunities.
Makers create reusable products from materials that would otherwise go to waste.
Finished products and maker stories are shared through UpcycleCHQ and community showcases.
We are currently:
-Gathering reusable materials
-Building partnerships
-Activating local makers
-Opening maker signups
Selected makers begin creating reusable products using materials gathered through the community.
Finished products, maker stories, and pilot outcomes will be shared with the community. What Makers Receive
