ReMade Naples

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Naples, the Remade community stands as a shining example of how grassroots efforts can drive environmental and social change. Part of the broader GreenBoost4WISEs initiative, this community is redefining how we approach sustainability, inclusion, and economic resilience. The project exemplifies how small, determined actions can ripple outward, inspiring a movement toward a greener and more equitable future.

ReMade is a micro-production laboratory, where an alternative model that integrates processes of digital fabrication, recycling and co-design is experimented with. It aspires to reduce the environmental impact of urban waste management by investigating new relationships between ideation, consumption and production.

Eco Culture

It conducts creative workshops to spread digital culture and ecological thinking particularly in communities that are very socially marginalized. The goal is to spread and experiment with reuse, product design, to develop circular economy models in Naples. Through recycled plastic, the ReMade community gives life to design objects strongly linked to Neapolitan identity and culture,

Another impressive feature is their commitment to community energy efficiency. Solar panels power much of the facility, and water is conserved through rainwater harvesting systems.

GreenBoost4WISEs

These initiatives align with the goals of GreenBoost4WISEs, demonstrating how social enterprises can lead the way in adopting green practices.

The GreenBoost4WISEs (Green Boost for Work Integration Social Enterprises) project is a European initiative designed to foster sustainability and green innovation within social enterprises. It aims to empower Work Integration Social Enterprises (WISEs), which focus on creating employment opportunities for marginalized groups while advancing environmentally conscious practices.

GreenBoost4WISEs brings together a network of project partners from across Italy including those in Naples, Austrian and Ireland. These social enterprise partners aim to embrace greater sustainability. The learning offered aims to help transform and promote sustainable development in their workplace and amongst local communities which they serve.

The Remade Lab project is located at Via Capodimonte 13, Naples, around the Basilica of the Crowned Mother of Good Counsel and Queen of the Catholic Church. You can email: info@remadecommunitylab.it for further information.
