Eco-Friendly Art Supplies Recycling
At Prototype NW, we believe that promoting sustainability is crucial, even within the creative community. Our reCREATE program offers a convenient solution for artists to dispose of their used or unwanted materials responsibly. We collaborate with local recycling facilities and expert artisans to ensure that art supplies are given a second life or safely recycled.
How reCREATE Works
reCREATE accepts a wide variety of art supplies, including paints, brushes, canvases, papers, sketchbooks, and more. Our dedicated team handles the collection and sorting process, distinguishing between reusable items and those that require recycling. This allows us to maximize the potential for salvaging materials and minimizing waste. Artists and art-related businesses can freely donate or drop off their items at our designated collection points, making it effortless to participate in our recycling program.
