VISIT OUR MICROFACTORY

Governors Island is now open year-round every day from 7am - 6pm. Ferries run daily from Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Come visit our MicroFactory to check it out on your own, or contact us to schedule a tour and see it in the works.

WITNESS THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY IN ACTION

Watch old laundry detergent bottles be transformed into a new product. Our MicroFactory collects solar energy, shreds single-use plastics, and molds them into new well designed products.

GOVERNORS ISLAND GLOBE

Hit the button below to learn about the Governors Island Globe; our first product and proof of concept, its design and manufacturing process, and what it represents. Get the chance to explore an interactive, digital 3D model and map showing where sea levels will rise to if we continue following a Linear, as opposed to a Circular lifestyle.

HOW TO GET TO THE MICROFACTORY

Governors Island has two ferry terminals; one coming from Manhattan and the other from Brooklyn. Check out the map (left) for directions on how to get from either of the terminals to our site.
