What were you like in the 90s? Well… From the Ballymun Boiler House to Europe’s first Circular Demonstration Centre, our building has come a long way since it was built in the 60’s! Here are some fun facts about our upcycled building.. *Photos are a mix from the 60s to the 2010s!

Looking for affordable fabric? Our fabric shelf is the perfect spot to pick up materials for your next sewing or upcycling project. Pick up a fabric bundle, Fill-A-Bag with scrap fabrics or surprise bags for €5, ideal for crafting projects. Interested? Visit the centre & see what gems you can find!

How to refill with us! We’re here to teach the ropes of refilling, to help you save money and reduce plastic. Stop by our Eco Store refill station for a simple way to refill your shampoos, dish soap, and other household products. Drop in Monday - Friday, 9am-5pm every week! #RefillStation

Look back on ReStyle Dublin with us! What an enjoyable and inspiring day. Huge congratulations to the Environmental Forum for creating this event, and to MyWaste, the IEN and Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council for funding it.

We had even more staff members with amazing circular hacks, so we created a part 2 to our circular tips video, this time with a focus on fashion! Interested in reuse, repairing and sharing? Visit the centre for more circular inspiration.

Our new partnership with Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown County Council aims to establish a hub in the area to mobilise local action. As part of this initiative, we are running a free Repair Café at Airfield Estate on July 18th. Our textiles and furniture experts will be there to share their skills.

*We are now open on Monday!* Did you know our café has a loyalty card? Buy 7 drinks and your 8th is on us! And with drinks this good, filling your card will be easy 😉. Drop into the centre Monday - Saturday, 9:30-3:30 for a warm welcome & something delicious!

These one-of-a-kind garments come from the Rediscover Fashion archive. Each piece was created from salvaged and donated fabrics back in the day, and we felt they deserved another chance to be loved and worn again! Visit the Eco Store to shop these pieces before they’re gone.
