About Morph

Morph's Yoga Mat Bag is made out of brightly-colored, durable polyester offcuts from a banner manufacturer. A piece of waste material with the face of a lion is on the left, and a Morph Yoga Mat Bag made from the same material is on the right.

Sourcing waste materials to create durable, upcycled products is our core activity. That said, we also take part in a variety of other efforts. This includes delivering educational programs for schools, community groups, and other organizations. We also support the implementation of programs that our related to our work.

These diverse efforts support our unifying purpose: bringing circular economy principles to life.

We work to make resource cycling happen, and we help others do the same.

What We Do

Morph creates upcycled products designed to extend the life of durable materials and reduce waste,. We also educate, advocate, and partner to help create a more circular economy.

Products

Morph creates upcycled products designed to extend the life of durable materials and reduce waste. Each Morph product embodies the possibilities available from rethinking resource use. Waste is often not what something is, but rather what we do.

Programs

We offer hands-on learning experiences on topics like sustainability, circular economy principles, systems thinking, and designing out waste. We can also tailor programs for local challenges.

Morph delivers classes and workshops to support groups learning and delivering positive change.

Partnerships

We support organizations by providing consulting and strategic support to help them rethink resource use. We help uncover opportunities, rethink resource use, and turn waste into new products and circular solutions.

Morph supports organizations with their sustainability challenges, from developing and delivering strategy, to more direct efforts, like helping the develop products from their waste or doing so for them.

How We Do it

A full recycling bin symbolizes Morph's sourcing approach.

Our process begins with unconventional sourcing. We don’t order materials from suppliers. Instead, we seek out resources that would otherwise become waste. We partner with organizations to source resources that hold value but lack outlets. By treating waste as a resource, we help support a circular economy, which reduces demand for virgin inputs. Continually seeking out material streams to create new possibilities is at the core of what we do.

Designing with waste materials requires a different approach from the norm. We don’t start out by deciding what we’d like to make and how we’d like to make it. Instead, we start out thinking about possibilities for a resource. What kinds of properties do they hold and what sorts of needs can they serve? From there, the process looks familiar. We still prototype, test, and iterate, but the fundamental purpose and assumptions underpinning the effort are different. Morph exists to help drive the circular transition. That’s why we say we’re Carried By Purpose.

Morph makes things out of waste, but we don’t normally work with recycled resources. We just use things as they are. That’s an important distinction. It means that we don’t use the energy and other resources that are part of the recycling process. We get things like off cuts and other leftover resources and make useful things with them as they are.
