Upcycle shop at Rotterdam Central Station gives second life to NS material
NL TimesThis week is the week of the circular economy in the Netherlands, and NS chose to celebrate that by opening an Upcycle shop at Rotterdam Central Station. There are also NS sneakers, backpacks, laptop bags, travel bags, toiletry bags, meditation cushions, and pencil cases made from old train fabrics and NS overalls. “We work together with various sustainable entrepreneurs to turn these old train parts into new products.” The NS Upcycle shop at Rotterdam Central Station is open Monday from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., Tuesday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. You can also shop online here. “The NS Upcycle shop has been a hit for years.” A few years ago, such a shop at Amsterdam Central Station sold products like birdhouses made from hard plastic timetable boards and maps.
