How Does it Work?

Step 1: Collection

We collect clean, recyclable plastic from homes, workshops, or donation drives. Examples of usable plastic include:

  • Plastic bags

  • Packaging materials

The collected plastic is cleaned thoroughly and sorted by type. Each type of plastic has unique properties that determine its use in textile production.

Step 3: Shredding and Processing

The plastic is shredded into smaller pieces or melted to form threads or sheets. These are then reworked into usable textile materials through techniques such as:

  • Weaving

  • Layering

  • Molding

The processed plastic is creatively integrated into designs. For instance:

  • Textured elements in cushion covers.

  • Unique accents in tote bags.

  • Durable and waterproof features in raincoats or pouches.
