The Ripas Creative Workshop opened its doors on International Recycling Day, 17 May 2021. The new space is open to those who need help for small repairs and to recover their own furniture, or to take advantage of what the municipal services will bring from the collection service. In addition to the reuse and recovery of end-of-life furniture, regular training sessions are planned to enable users to repair their own furniture autonomously.

The social inclusion project is the result of a partnership between ACR+ member Lisbon and Junta de Freguesia da Ajuda, and will be run by the non-profit association Oficina Monstros - Associação de Artes e Ofícios.
