The Recovery Circular Hub, home of the Glenorchy Tip Shop is designed as an education facility using art and a lecture series as the medium to communicate important sustainability <\/span>ideas \u2013 the Hub is the classroom!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n

Using the sculptures, we then share our comprehensive knowledge by telling the story of <\/span>waste and the circular economy through the lens of social capital, economic capital and <\/span>natural capital\u2013 the triple bottom line.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
