Hipcycle
http://hipcycle.comOur goal here at Hipcycle is to offer upcycled products that are as attractive, durable, and otherwise as desirable as traditional equivalent products (if not more so). We also strive to offer products that are priced about the same as regular high-quality products. We don’t feel that just because something is a “green” product that is means you have to make a choice between helping the environment and getting what you want.

RSI partners with skateboard shops all over the US to keep skateboard decks out of landfills; this steady source of material allows us to fill orders big and small, on-time. As skateboarders, we have made a commitment to reduce our carbon footprint by re-purposing these old decks.
Snact
http://www.snact.co.ukWe make fruit snacts from fruit surplus to act on food waste.
Tonnes of perfectly good fruit get thrown away in the UK before reaching shops. We turn that surplus into healthy snacts that contribute to one of your five a day. But a better food system is also about the people involved in it, so as we grow, we plan to employ people who’ve been affected by food poverty to help us make and sell our snacts.
