Rubbish Café
With a 40 year heritage minimising environmental impact, Ecover wanted to showcase the value of recycling plastics. The resulting Rubbish Café was a world-first experience – people could only enter if they ‘paid’ with recyclable plastic rubbish.
Everything was created with sustainability and shareability in mind: from reusable cork flooring to the eco-friendly wash-off pavement graffiti.
Eco-chef Tom Hunt created zero waste veggie and vegan bowls, whilst upcycling designer Max McMurdo ensured the café backdrop was Instagram worthy.
As you entered the message on circularity was clear – was your rubbish ‘doomed for landfill’ or did it go to the ‘reincarnation station’?
