EcoWorks CT
Our Purpose
EcoWorks is a social enterprise that reduces waste while supporting the arts. Our mission is to promote resource conservation, creativity, education and community engagement through material reuse, waste reduction, recycling, composting and zero waste strategies. We seek to foster behavior that respects the environment and strengthens a sense of community through initiatives to repurpose items typically thought of as waste. As a creative reuse center, EcoWorks helps businesses reduce and reuse waste while providing educators, artists and other community members access to low-cost art supplies by recovering materials that were originally destined for disposal. In addition to selling scrap materials, EcoWorks offers a reBoutique gift shop of upcycled and repurposed goods made by local artisans. EcoWorks also offers workshops and demonstrations.
