We give commercial waste materials new life
Our designers and machinists transform waste materials into high-quality consumer goods.
Who We Are
OpenSource Circular (OSC) comprises a passionate team of veteran machinists, designers and circular thinkers who manufacture top-end products from surplus and waste materials. We transform waste and previously loved items into high-quality, desirable products that pave the road to a responsible and inspiring future for a more sustainable and circular retail industry. With a commitment to sustainability, creativity, and design, we pay homage to the rising trend of conscious gifting and forward-thinking waste management.
We work with brands looking to include upcycled products in their range.
Bring your own waste materials or let us source them for you.
All of our products come with a lifetime warranty, which means that we will repair the products we create — forever!
Our specialist manufacturing team is highly skilled and experienced.
Our mission is to help brands, companies, industries, and schools become greener by embracing re-use and upcycling.
How we work with brands
We work with brands that produce their own reusable waste materials, as well as those that don’t.
We transform your waste materials into upcycled products that you can sell to your customers alongside your core product range.
If you don’t produce any reusable waste materials yourself, we source waste materials for you from other companies and industries.
We have a series of bag and accessory designs that can be made bespoke and white labelled. Only your brand name appears on them, not ours.
We work with experienced circular design consultants who can help you to get your bespoke designs over the line and into production.
How we work with companies that produce waste materials
We work with experienced circular design consultants who can help you to get your bespoke designs over the line and into production.
We transform your waste materials into products that you can use or sell to your customers alongside your core product range.
Or, we take your waste materials away and put them to good use creating upcycled products for other brands and companies.
Both options make your business greener and more sustainable by reducing the amount of waste that ends up in landfills.
