With the old Edinburgh Remakery was known for its homemade pallet shelving and ramshackle charity shop-esque interior, the new facility turns that on its head with a contemporary, open-plan, well-lit and spacious workspace.
The interior has been created with the help of local artists and inspiring colourful displays, all carrying the message of sustainability and circular economy.
The business had benefited from increased awareness regarding environmental and social issues, which has led to an overall shift in consumer habits, with people opting for more economical and ethical products.
Edinburgh Remakery appeal to both businesses and members of the public who are looking to buy ethically and are striving to reduce their waste and carbon footprint.
The official launch of the new building took place on Friday, February 25, with an opening speech being given by Lorna Slater, MSP for Biodiversity and Circular Economy.
Circular Economy Minister Lorna Slater said: "The Edinburgh Remakery is a great example of the circular economy that we want to create in Scotland. By encouraging reuse and repair, they are cutting down on waste and emissions and providing a real benefit to their local community.
"By reusing and repairing products, we don't just help the climate – we can also help create new economic opportunities here in Scotland."
The business has also increased their staff levels from 11 to 16 and members of the public have been given the chance to explore their new store from Monday 28 February.
Members of the public can drop off old electronics and find out more about what the store has to offer, as well as seeking advice on how to become more sustainable and reduce waste.
Opening hours are currently Monday-Friday 11am-3pm with plans to extend these in the coming months.
