The name came from the motto \u201cReduce, Reuse, Recycle\u201d, which brings together the hub\u2019s different projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt came about because all our activities were a bit disjointed\u201d, says Ribhu of <a href=\"https:\/\/adventure.auroville.com\/index.php\/2022\/07\/25\/reaching-the-future-generation-wasteless\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WasteLess<\/a>, Auroville\u2019s experts on waste management and sustainable consumption. \u201cWe decided to create a vision for Auroville\u2019s waste management. It was interesting because many units joined in. Out of that vision, came the need to work more closely together physically, so we could collaborate more\u201d. After two years of discussions, the new building was made possible thanks to Auroville\u2019s 50<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary funding in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"562\" src=\"https:\/\/adventure.auroville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/OkUpCyclingStudio.jpg\" alt=\"Ok UpCycling\" data-id=\"4484\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/adventure.auroville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/OkUpCyclingStudio.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/adventure.auroville.com\/?attachment_id=4484\" class=\"wp-image-4484\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adventure.auroville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/OkUpCyclingStudio.jpg 750w, https:\/\/adventure.auroville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/OkUpCyclingStudio-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Ok UpCycling<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" src=\"https:\/\/adventure.auroville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Marc-from-StartUpCycling.jpg\" alt=\"Start UpCycling\" data-id=\"4483\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/adventure.auroville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Marc-from-StartUpCycling.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/adventure.auroville.com\/?attachment_id=4483\" class=\"wp-image-4483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adventure.auroville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Marc-from-StartUpCycling.jpg 800w, https:\/\/adventure.auroville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Marc-from-StartUpCycling-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/adventure.auroville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Marc-from-StartUpCycling-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Start UpCycling<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While WasteLess focuses on education, Re-Centre is also home to two up-cycling studios, <a href=\"https:\/\/adventure.auroville.com\/index.php\/2019\/11\/10\/reduce-reuse-recycle-and-up-cycle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ok Upcycling and Start Upcycling<\/a>, which convert waste into art.

Later this year, they plan to train two interns over a period of six months, with the aim of starting a new Upcycling studio in Rajapalayam, southern Tamil Nadu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/adventure.auroville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/OkUpCycling-Rajapalayam.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4466\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adventure.auroville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/OkUpCycling-Rajapalayam.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/adventure.auroville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/OkUpCycling-Rajapalayam-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/adventure.auroville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/OkUpCycling-Rajapalayam-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>Ok gives a workshop on upcycling in Rajapalayam, 2021.

That includes Auroville residents, workers, guests and tourists. By adding a facility at the new Re-Centre, Palani of EcoService estimates that they will be able to cater to three times the current number, as Auroville\u2019s population grows and as its needs expand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"627\" src=\"https:\/\/adventure.auroville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/EcoService-EarthDay2022.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4462\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adventure.auroville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/EcoService-EarthDay2022.jpg 900w, https:\/\/adventure.auroville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/EcoService-EarthDay2022-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/adventure.auroville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/EcoService-EarthDay2022-768x535.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption>Field cleanup by EcoService and Naturellement, Earth Day 2022. Photo courtesy of EcoService<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A major factor in choosing the new site has been its location near Auroville\u2019s main tar road. The current EcoService site, active since 1988, is located within Auroville\u2019s town area as per the Master Plan, which means that in the future, heavy vehicle access to it may be restricted. Proximity to the wide road will ensure that EcoService trucks can comfortably load and unload, making it possible to easily move materials outside of Auroville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new site will also provide storage space for certain categories of waste such as Tetra Pak and multi-layered plastics. The highly specialized factories which re-process these types of waste are few, and located as far away as Mumbai and Bangalore, making transport prohibitively expensive. However, by segregating these items and keeping them out of the landfills, Auroville can serve as an example. To make transport cost-effective, Palani estimates that 8 \u2013 10 tons of these items must be segregated and saved, before being sold to a recycling factory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"662\" src=\"https:\/\/adventure.auroville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Post-DSC0392.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"4487\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/adventure.auroville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Post-DSC0392.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/adventure.auroville.com\/?attachment_id=4487\" class=\"wp-image-4487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adventure.auroville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Post-DSC0392.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/adventure.auroville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Post-DSC0392-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/adventure.auroville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Post-DSC0392-768x508.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">EcoService waste segregation activity for schools, 2019<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"638\" height=\"850\" src=\"https:\/\/adventure.auroville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/EcoServicePETPlasticLoaded.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"4463\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/adventure.auroville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/EcoServicePETPlasticLoaded.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/adventure.auroville.com\/?attachment_id=4463\" class=\"wp-image-4463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adventure.auroville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/EcoServicePETPlasticLoaded.jpg 638w, https:\/\/adventure.auroville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/EcoServicePETPlasticLoaded-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 638px) 100vw, 638px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">4.3 tonnes of PET plastics sent out to processing, EcoService, June 2022<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strength in Numbers<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Ribhu comments on the new site: \u201cIn the future Auroville needs to expand its collection coverage, the amount of waste we collect\u201d, says Ribhu. \u201cWe have this as an expansion space.
