#SurfaceMatter MaterialsUsedBetter CreateChange

Surface Matter shines a light on the circular economy, believing that with the right planning and understanding, no materials should end up in landfill. This series of activities explores how we can connect and create change.

Pop by our London Fields studio 9.30–17.30 weekdays to discuss all things materials, sustainability and takeback. With material sessions, workshops + networking events throughout the week, it's a great chance to learn more about innovative materials, how to maximise their potential and keep them in circulation - because change shouldn’t mean waste.
