Happening at TransfoLAB BCN

​ The past 27th of November we held the 6th edition of our semi-annual talks! This year, the TrashTalks coincided with the closing of our campaign “Revalue Your Waste - Right to Repair” and formed part of the European Week for Waste Reduction.

​

What did we prepare for the occasion?
We joined the initiative of the Catalan Waste Agency with a very special Film Forum. We screened a documentary produced by the ARC about the life cycle of household appliances, followed by a discussion with two guests:

​

  • Mercedes Rodríguez, from the Ateneu de Fabricació de Ciutat Meridiana, and

  • Miquel Caballé, representing Restarters BCN,

 

They shared their experience and insights on repair culture, the importance of extending the lifespan of everyday objects, and the value this brings to the community. 

​

The campaign “Revalue Your Waste: The Right to Repair” and the 6th edition of TrashTalks were made possible thanks to the support of the Barcelona City Council. It was a perfect opportunity to learn, debate, and keep transforming our habits towards a more circular and sustainable future.

Events

​TransfoLAB BCN regularly takes part in different events and fairs, such as: Maker Faire Barcelona, Dutch Design Week, Design Week Barcelona, REHOGAR, Tallers Oberts, Pecha Kucha Barcelona and Valencia, Matins Maker, Poblenou Open Day and Night etc.
