From ground source heat pumps to a rainbow chair made from recycled crisp packets, pioneering products within Future Leap showcase the possibilities of a low carbon future.
Located in a former Maplin store on the corner of Gloucester Road and Cromwell Road, the £1.5m sustainability hub that opened its doors early in 2019 is breaking new ground as the first of its kind in the country, with plans to replicate the model in other locations.
It is no accident that Bristol is the flagship site for the carbon-neutral hub. The city is often hailed as a trailblazer on environmental issues and the impact of the coronavirus pandemic has only highlighted the need to build back better.
The Government has pledged £350m to help fuel a green economic recovery and cut carbon emissions, while union leaders say investment in green jobs is vital to stem the tide of mass unemployment.
