ReLove Local

ReLove Local is an upcycled product collection under the Gabriola Island Recycling Organization's C2C Threads social enterprise. ReLove Local offers locally-made goods to replace single-use items and inspire zero waste lifestyles. The product line includes multi-purpose cloths, napkins, and wipes to replace disposable paper products; zero waste bowl covers to replace plastic wrap; sponges that use non-recyclable onion bags collected from the local grocer; and pet beds and cushions made from rescued jeans and filled with upcycled stuffing. These products are designed and made on Gabriola Island by skilled makers who also train apprentices in the art of textile repair and upcycling. ReLove Local can be found at the GIRO ReStore, at pop-up locations around Vancouver Island, and online at relovelocal.ca
