About OFFCUT
OFFCUT collects and sells used materials to then make new materials from the old. In the material markets in Basel, Zürich, Bern, St. Gallen, and Frauenfeld, materials, which would otherwise end up as waste, are collected. OFFCUT sorts, stores, and sells these as materials for new projects, extending their lifespan. The company raises awareness of the need to handle resources mindfully. It offers creative solutions to the ecological challenges of our time.
The OFFCUT material markets are places of inspiration and platforms for exchange. Materials aren’t just circulated but so are ideas! For example, how to conserve resources and strengthen circular thinking. As future-forward pioneers, OFFCUT has been providing action-oriented impetus for societal transformation since 2013. It inspires us to lead a sustainable lifestyle.
