Shipping containers are usually reused at the end of their use, but it is more environmentally friendly to reuse them and keep these valuable steel pieces in use for as long as is possible. This will reduce carbon emissions from carbon embodied and limit the need to further damage the environment by recycling or melting.
Cafes
Cafes are restaurants that serve food and drinks. They are popular for their cosy, casual spaces and their flexible operating hours. Contrary to restaurants, which usually serve formal food, cafes tend to have relaxed menu items like sandwiches and light meals. They may also feature art exhibits and other cultural events to foster community engagement. The term is distinct from the sterile "Coffee Shop" that has an older connotation both in Australia and in the UK.

It could be as simple or complex as adding heating and walls, or as simple as painting. Some transform them into swimming pools or recording studios!
