Welcome to the Creative ReUse Project

The Creative ReUse Project is dedicated to reimagining waste as a valuable resource for creativity and education in Calgary. Inspired by ReMida, the creative recycling centre in Reggio Emilia, Italy, the project aims to transform collected retail, industrial and commercial surplus or waste materials, otherwise destined for landfills, into resources for artistic and educational initiatives through the re-circulation of materials to schools, early learning centres, artists, families and individuals.

Materials are recirculated through an annual Membership Program.

The Creative ReUse Project is located in the Common Digs ReImagine Centre in the Calgary community of Franklin. It offers a space for community members to host meetings and workshops related to ecological thinking as well as for people to attend events and programs.
