Local communities in global locations
In 2023, we launched Trash Club Hubs to grow our impact in local areas around the world.
So far, our members have launched hubs in Boston, Jaipur, London, Porto, Shanghai, Eindhoven and Santiago De Compostela. The initiative is designed to foster a space for interconnectivity and allow international members to form unique hyper-local groups.
Trash Club Hubs embrace the concept with meet-ups and foster local communities dedicated to sustainable practices. Each location allows for further in-person interactions, collaborations and knowledge exchange. We visualise ourselves as a network connecting and growing together through creative physical and digital spaces for members to coexist.
