culturenut was created in 2019 by Exhibits Development Group (EDG), a leading international cultural exchange group. EDG recognised the enormous amount of waste thrown away by the cultural world, and so decided to use culturenut as a way to support the industry while also working to reduce waste.
Providing an immediate and accessible resource to cultural institutions around the world, the platform enables users to recycle and up cycle assets which would otherwise be left idle. Honouring the Earth and our responsibility to her, culturenut and EDG are committed to their continuous mission to recycle, up cycle, and reuse collective resources. They ask their global community to stop and consider if somebody else could use it, before throwing it away, and get in touch with culturenut to explore other options. The added bonus lies in the opportunity to make a little money in the process!
With a portion of proceeds from culturenut supporting local, regional and International arts initiatives through the L’etoile du Nord Cultural Foundation, leaning on the team to help you reduce waste is a win win for cultural institutions around the world.
Sustainable museums are quickly becoming a focus for the public, as the need to reduce carbon emissions becomes a vital part of human survival. The place of cultural institutions is to not only teach through exhibitions, but also lead by example, and culturenut is perfectly placed to assist museums in this transition.
