about the recycle Studio
mastering waste
The Recycle Studio, also known as TRS, is a multidisciplinary company that stands at the intersection of design and environmentalism.
We harness the power of circular economy principles to transform 100% recycled plastic waste into M-CD, a high-quality sheet material used for products and interior design. Our approach goes beyond sustainability—it's about demonstrating how thoughtful design and high-end craftsmanship can coexist without compromising the planet’s resources.
Our journey has led us to become specialists in plastic transformation. We don’t just create materials; we innovate, craft, and collaborate with others to showcase their potential in design-led spaces.
Our mission is to challenge the very notion of waste. In a well-functioning ecosystem, waste doesn’t exist; everything has a purpose and value. Through our work, we redefine what waste can be, proving that even the most discarded items can become integral to exceptional design.
The Recycle Studio was founded in 2019 by Olivia Grosvenor and Oliver Wakile. It operates entirely on renewable energy from its workshop in San José, Costa Rica.
