Partnering with the Recycled by Design team was a great experience. Their team of experts brought our story to life, capturing the ‘why’ behind the products that support a circular economy.

Recycled By Design has a real gift for telling the stories behind the work companies do. The way Tim and his team captured the behind-the-scenes of Total Organics Recycling and St. Louis Composting was both engaging and impactful. It was an honor to be featured, and we’re excited to see what they create next.
