The Shoddy factory is located in Oslo and is a historical landmark with significance for the city's industrial history. The factory was established in the 19th century and was one of the first in Norway to produce shoddy, a material made from recycled textiles. This contributed to a sustainable approach to textile production in a time characterized by rapid industrialisation.
The building is an example of industrial architecture from this period and has retained many of its original features. The Shoddy factory has been an important part of Oslo's development as an industrial and commercial city, and it represents an era where recycling and reuse began to gain greater focus. Today, the factory is recognized as a cultural monument and stands as testimony to the historical development within the textile industry in Norway.
