About Delve

Delve Recycled is a Williams Lake-based micro-recycling studio that is turning locally collected plastic waste and turning it into functional, handcrafted goods - and helping rural communities take climate action. We are built around three pillars: products, programs, and possibility.

Our Story

Delve began as a step in Emma's journey to live wholly as a garbage queen.

The pull into micro-scale plastic recycling was inescapable after several pauses in local recycling due to pandemic and natural disaster (fire & flood). Testing and trialling with plastic continues to be an excellent way of channeling climate anxiety, consumer guilt into something generative. Starting with a sawed apart waffle maker, Emma traded her way up to hacked paper shredder, pizza oven and wobbly shop press.

In 2026 we moved into a new recycling studio space and launched our mobile recycling studio, LoopLAB. We're working on collaborative partnerships and continuing to secure high quality sources of plastic waste that would otherwise head to landfill or end up in the ocean. 

We believe plastic is precious. Recycling is a craft, a community connector, and proof that big change starts small.

Delve is proud to be part of the Precious Plastic universe - a global community of makers and innovators doing the same.
