Sample/d

Sample/d is a circular waste diversion program powered mpolo designs inc. Our work is grounded in sustainability, creative innovation, and responsible material stewardship. We believe that design waste is not an endpoint but a beginning. Every sample, cut-off, and discarded textile or other material holds potential for renewed purpose and creative expression.​

Circular Partners provides the infrastructure needed for large-scale sorting, cataloguing, and redistribution of reclaimed materials. Sample/d extends that impact by transforming these materials into new creative opportunities. This includes upcycled products, interior elements, educational experiences, and material based art installations and design projects.

This partnership strengthens our shared goal of keeping materials in circulation for as long as possible. It also supports a more resilient and environmentally responsible design ecosystem.​

​​

Join us to become part of a growing community of designers, makers, and collaborators who are committed to reducing waste and reimagining materials. Together we support new ideas, strengthen communities, and reshape the future of design.
