Hello! If you’re new here, my name is Sam Mejia, founder of EcoPress Sacramento ♻️.

I am an artist, maker, and environmental advocate who’s passionate about turning plastic waste into something meaningful.

 

EcoPress began with a simple idea: what if we could take the #2 HDPE plastic we use every day (like milk caps and cleaning bottles) & transform it into local and functional art instead of sending it to the landfill?

Now, we are working to bring the community together through neighborhood clean-ups, plastic waste collection sites, and upcycling workshops to make this idea become reality... all from our new upcycling art studio in Old Sacramento!

​

We hope you join our mission to rethink your recycling and remake our plastic waste into something useful!
