Upcycling Waste Into Fashion
Manage episode 428416914 series 3380248
Inspired by the waste found on the beaches of Langkawi, Rebecca Yau, founder of social enterprise Ekha Langkawi wants to make upcycling fun through arts and crafts by turning waste - primarily plastic bags and discarded cotton t-shirts - into sustainable fashion. With the launch of the Ekha Hub in Central Market earlier this year, they're aiming to conduct upcycling workshops, community programmes, and sustainable fashion retail to kickstart the movement towards sustainability. We speak to Rebecca to find out what it takes to turn trash into fashion, empowering communities with craft skills, and how you can do it at home.
