Space Available began as a Bali-based creative studio that blends circular design, sustainability and thoughtful craftsmanship. In 2025 they opened their first Jakarta outpost: the Self Care Community Centre (SCCC) located on Jl. Kemang Raya 8B–9, South Jakarta. Space Available Indonesia+2Manual Jakarta+2

But SCCC is more than a store or gallery — it’s a living ecosystem that combines meditation, movement, craft, upcycling, and community gathering under one roof. Space Available Indonesia+2Now Jakarta+2

What makes this centre particularly special: the architecture and furniture themselves are built from recycled plastic. Over 11 tonnes of locally recycled plastic were transformed into structural elements, wall panels, furniture, and interior design — a bold demonstration of circular design in practice.

Inside SCCC are zones for design retail, a gallery, a listening library, a reading room, movement/meditation studios, a medicinal-style bar/restaurant, and — importantly for this story — an Upcycling Lab. Space Available Indonesia+2Hypebeast+2

How Wedoo Supports Space Available’s Vision

To power the Upcycling Lab and enable tangible recycling workflows, Space Available uses two machines supplied by Wedoo:

• The Wedoo Mini Shredder (compact, educational-friendly)
• The Wedoo Plastic Injection Machine (standard model)

By integrating these machines on-site at their Kemang centre, Space Available can run workshops where participants actively transform plastic waste into new objects — not just as demonstration, but as real production.

Because the machines are compact, safe and approachable, the Upcycling Lab becomes accessible to a broad audience: artists, designers, students, community members, and even newcomers with little to no experience.

The Recycling-to-Design Workflow

With Wedoo’s equipment, Space Available can offer a full small-scale recycling pipeline:

1. Collection & sorting — plastic waste (bottles, caps, containers, offcuts) is collected, sorted, cleaned.
2. Shredding — the Mini Shredder reduces waste into uniform flakes or chips. This standardization is critical for consistent downstream results.
3. Injection Molding — using the Plastic Injection Machine, the shredded and cleaned plastic is melted and injected into molds to produce new parts: small objects, fittings, accessories, or modular components.
4. Output — new objects — participants can produce functional objects with clean surfaces and repeatable results.

This direct, hands-on process helps demystify recycling. Rather than abstract concepts, visitors see waste turning into usable materials in real time. They feel the texture, see the finish, and understand the importance of sorting, cleaning, and processing plastic properly.

Education & Community: SCCC as a Living Laboratory

Space Available doesn’t treat sustainability as a marketing angle. Instead, they embed it into everyday practice at SCCC. The Upcycling Lab is not hidden in a factory; it’s part of the public space. Visitors can walk in, attend a workshop, and directly participate in transforming waste into new objects. Hypebeast+2Now Jakarta+2

Programs at SCCC include movement & meditation classes, mindful-living events, cultural gatherings, exhibitions, reading & listening sessions — but also recycling workshops, design labs, and material-literacy sessions. Hypebeast+2ArchDaily+2

By placing functional recycling machines in a welcoming environment, they lower the barrier to participation. People engage not because they have to, but because they want to: to learn, to create, to contribute to circular practices.

As described by Space Available’s founders and collaborators, SCCC aims to reintroduce the idea of care — for self, community, and environment — in modern urban life. Product, design, food, wellness, art, and recycling converge under one roof. kontan.co.id+2Now Jakarta+2

What This Collaboration Demonstrates

This partnership between Wedoo and Space Available shows several powerful insights:

• Industrial-grade machines can serve educational and community purposes. The same technologies used for manufacturing can also be used to teach, inform, and inspire.
• Circular design becomes tangible when you can physically remake waste into new objects. The process moves from theory to action — from plastic waste to furniture, accessories, or building materials.
• Accessibility matters. Compact, safe, and easy-to-use equipment opens the door for people who are not industry professionals — creatives, students, locals — to get involved.
• Sustainability integrated into living spaces changes mindsets. When recycled plastic is visible in furniture, interior design, and in the act of making, sustainability becomes part of daily life, not just a buzzword.
• Community & learning drive lasting impact. Workshops and shared experience foster a sense of ownership and understanding that mass-scale recycling campaigns often miss.

For Wedoo, this case validates a broader vision: machines don’t only belong in factories — they can belong in community labs, creative spaces, and educational hubs. Through thoughtful deployment, they become tools for empowerment and transformation.

Conclusion

The Self Care Community Centre by Space Available in Kemang stands as a bold experiment in circular design, community engagement, and mindful living. With more than 11 tonnes of recycled plastic forming its structure, and with an on-site Upcycling Lab powered by Wedoo machines, the centre moves beyond symbolic sustainability to hands-on, visible transformation.

By shredding, injection-molding, and remaking plastic waste — and inviting people to participate — they turn waste into opportunity, ignorance into awareness, and isolation into community.

For Wedoo, this collaboration isn’t just a business case: it's a proof of concept. It shows that responsible machinery, when used in the right context, can help reshape how societies view waste, creativity, and sustainability.

We’re proud to support initiatives that combine design, community, and circular thinking.
