About The Recycle Studio (TRS)

We are a simple company; our ethos is simple and our direction is simple. We make head-turning, long-lasting materials out of plastics that would otherwise have ended up either in a landfill or in the environment.

Our panels respond to the design needs of the 21st century; quality aesthetics alongside real sustainability. The world is growing, putting increasing demand on resources available, yet we’re also wasting more than ever. Our materials work towards fulfilling a demand and alleviating a problem, and most importantly not leaving behind the essence of good design; beauty and practicality. Creating a solution that ticks the boxes.

We’re a design company with environmentalism at our core. We are committed to continuously doing better by making our processes circular (a.k.a wasteless) and transparent (a.k.a honest) – we don’t want to cause harm as we’re trying to do good, it defeats the point.

Essentially, we’re in the business of challenging the preconception of waste. Look at nature, no waste there, everything serves a purpose. Let’s take a page out of her book.

The Recycle Studio is based in San José, Costa Rica and was founded by Olivia Grosvenor and Oliver Wakile.
