WELCOME TO OUR CENTER FOR TRASH INVESTIGATION
TransfoLAB BCN is a centre dedicated to the creative ecosystem in Barcelona focused on design, innovation, production and experimentation with waste, circular economy and environmental sustainability. Basically we offer the space and support to makers, designers, architects, artists, students, DIY hobbyists and creative enthusiasts looking for an environment to develop and design their ideas or projects. We offer support throughout the whole life cycle of the projects, including conception, planning, prototyping, production and promotion.

News and Events
We have just published an updated programme of activities be it afterschool activities, jewellery workshops, making biomaterials, or lerning new skills such as carpentry and metalworking with reuse. To learn more, click here.
We launched a series of repair-focused activities as part of the third edition of the project “Revalue Your Waste – Right to Repair.” Over three months, citizens were able to take part free of charge in a range of repair sessions. Find out more here!
On the 27th of November 2025 we held the 6th edition of our semi-annual talks! This time, the TrashTalks coincided with the closing of our campaign “Revalue Your Waste: The Right to Repair” and formed part of the European Week for Waste Reduction.
From TransfoLAB BCN we propose a different summer full of objects and creativity. We will learn manufacturing techniques used in different contexts and with a variety of materials. The main focus will be on creation. Each week we will deal with different topics and techniques (jewelry, upcycling, architecture, carpentry, printmaking, textile and biomaterials) with an expert tutor on the subject. Find out more!
