The association's aim is to increase the visibility of the eco-design industry and to promote collaboration and networking among the stakeholders of the field.

After a nomadic year 2013 of Trashlab repair workshops touring different studios and maker spaces in Helsinki, the activity in 2014 has now settled into Kaupunkiverstas, the city librarys maker space in Lasipalatsi.

On one hand it is pure business, but on the other hand its very crucial for how life on earth will continue...
