East London isn’t just changing, it’s rewriting the rules. The old economy is breaking down, making way for something regenerative.

Waste isn’t the end; it’s the start of something new.

Big local names in Hackney Wick like Notpla have paved the way, but they’re just the beginning. The next wave in our community — Are You Mad, Silo, FibreLab, and dozens more — aren’t just running businesses; they’re redesigning the system. But they need spaces that foster creativity, not ones squeezed for efficiency.

That’s where our prototype “The Loop” comes in. It’s more than a workspace; it’s a launchpad for a new economy.

The Loop: Turning Empty Spaces into a Circular Economy Powerhouse

Not every transformation needs a bulldozer. Some just need a fresh perspective.

In 2023, 119 Wallis Rd was just 10,000 sq ft of wasted potential:

• no businesses
• no impact
• no income

Fast forward to today, now The Loop has:

• provided 17 circular economy pioneers with low cost space
• created 12 new jobs
• tonnes of waste saved from landfill

But here’s the real question: What if we had more?

🚀 More space → More businesses, more jobs, more impact

🔋 More features → Smarter recycling, cleaner energy, better production

📆 Longer leases → Deeper investment, stronger community ties
