Austin Creative Reuse

Austin Creative Reuse is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We been in Austin since 2012 and opened Austin's first Creative Reuse center in 2015. Since that time, our organization has grown dramatically. Austin is the perfect home for a Creative Reuse Center with it's deep environmental and creative roots.

Our mission is to foster conservation and reuse through creativity, education, and community building.

• We collect, distribute, and sell reusable materials donated from industry and individuals.
• We educate the community about how to reduce, reuse, and create in responsible and fun ways. We make instructional kits, have a library of design and art ideas, and share these online and in-store.
• We unite the community by hosting a range of events, activities, and classes that bring people together to build awareness around conscious consumption, sustainability, and art
• We promote awareness of like-minded organizations to reduce overlap and increase awareness of city resources.
