The Upcycling Kiosk located at the Auroville Visitor\u2019s Centre is a cooperative of 12 individuals who showcase and sell unique handmade objects that have been transformed from waste into art. They each take turns at the Kiosk to educate visitors on the concepts behind this initiative. The inspiration for the project came in 2010, after an incredibly successful Litter Free AV campaign. In collaboration with many NGO\u2019s, Auroville got to participate in the process of creating an e-course and an e-book to assist youth in starting up ecologically sound business models<\/a> to meet the waste crisis. The Upcycling Kiosk in Auroville was then created in order to provide a space for interaction, sales, as well as an educational venue to discuss the global and local need to reduce consumption and transform matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
